The wingspan is 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in). The forewings are white, coarsely irrorated with dark fuscous and with a more or less developed variably interrupted black streak from the base of the costa through the disc to the apex, and a less marked also interrupted streak along the fold. Sometimes a white streak between these, or a white longitudinal mark in the disc beyond the middle, or white opposite tornal and costal spots.
