The wingspan is 22–26 mm. The forewings are white with a few fuscous-grey scales and fuscous markings. There is a semicircular blotch on the dorsum before the middle not reaching the middle of the disc and a line from two-thirds of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, strongly angulated outwards in the middle, dilated on both margins. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
