The wingspan is about 38 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish lightly sprinkled with fuscous and with a slender median fuscous line from two-fifths nearly to the termen with a short parallel line on its costal side.

The hindwings are ochreous-yellow with a pale fuscous suffusion around the apex, termen and tornus.
