The wingspan is about 18 mm.

There are two tufts of scales beneath this on the end of the cell and a few scattered black scales towards the dorsum in the middle. There is also a black dot in the disc towards the apex, and a smaller one on the termen beneath it. The hindwings are grey, suffused darker posteriorly.
