The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are stone-grey, dusted and spotted with greyish fuscous and with four or five spots on the basal third, one at the extreme base of the costa, one on the dorsum at one-fourth, the first margined beneath by whitish scaling. A spot is found at the end of the cell, and one below and beyond it above the extremity of the fold.
