The wingspan is about 16 mm. Adults are pale whitish. The forewings are marked with a small basal patch and a broad median band of a smoky grey shade, which is much heavier in the costal half of the wing where it shows a strong outward bulge.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing in July and August.
