The wingspan is 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in). The forewings are bronzy fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with dark fuscous and with an oblique whitish-ochreous mark on the costa before the middle. There is a narrow wedge-shaped whitish-ochreous mark along the costa beyond three-fourths. The hindwings are dark bronzy-fuscous.[3]
