The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are fuscous white, obscured by evenly overlaid dark fuscous scales. The extreme base of the costa is black and there is a black streak through the center of the wing from the base to the apical third, interrupted on the middle of the cell by a pure white spot.
