The wingspan is 16–19 mm. The forewings are fuscous or grey, usually partially tinged with reddish. The costal edge in the sinuation is usually reddish-ochreous. The stigmata is small and dark fuscous, the plical somewhat beyond the first discal. There is an angulated subterminal series of indistinct dark fuscous cloudy dots.
