The wingspan is 30–46 mm. The forewings are pale brown, with a very few scattered dark fuscous scales and a broad streak from the base of the costa to beyond the middle of the disc, toothed above at one-third and beneath at two-thirds, white, edged with dark fuscous, the apical third narrow and wholly dark fuscous. The hindwings are whitish, slightly brownish-tinged.
