The wingspan is 15.5-16.5 mm. The forewings are yellowish gray, with the outer two-thirds of the costal edge white and with a small black spot on the fold and two elongated black white-edged dashes on the middle of the wing in continuation of each other, sometimes forming one uninterrupted black line. From the apical fourth of the costa, a thin oblique white line runs outward to the termen. Above this, four white dashes are found in the costal cilia, and opposite it correspondingly a dorsal white line emitting three white pencils into the dorsal cilia. The hindwings are dark gray. [3]
