The wingspan is 7–9 mm.

There is an oblique fascia from the costa at two-thirds reaching two-thirds across the wing, the upper part dark fuscous, the lower ochreous brown. There is also an inwardly oblique dark fuscous spot on the costa before the apex, edged whitish anteriorly, more or less connected beneath by a dark fuscous dash in the disc with the preceding. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
