The wingspan is 9–14 mm. The forewings are dark purplish grey. The stigmata are represented by small obscure darker spots, sometimes nearly obsolete, the plical somewhat beyond the first discal, the second discal transverse oval. There is a small whitish mark on the costa at three-fourths, where sometimes a faint slightly curved line of whitish scales runs to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
