The wingspan is about 19 mm. The wings are shining grey, darker towards the external area. The forewings are tinted with pink, the base black brown, with purplish reflections and a very irregular transverse brown band just before the middle. The costal border, from the commencement of this band to the apex, is spotted with blackish and there is an arched dusky submarginal band and a marginal series of black dots. The hindwings are somewhat silvery, with a slender blackish marginal line.[3]
