The wingspan is 15–20 mm. The forewings are reddish fawn-grey, sparsely sprinkled with tawny fuscous scales on the outer third, tending to run parallel with the termen. With two tawny fuscous dots, one on the middle of the cell, the other at its outer extremity. There is a small group of raised tawny fuscous scales before the middle of the costa and two on the fold, one before, and one beyond its middle, with a small patch of slightly raised scales on the flexus. The hindwings are reddish grey, darker at the apex.[2]
