The wingspan is 7 - 8 mm.The head is grey, face whitish. Forewings are blackish -grey, somewhat paler-sprinkled ; a somewhat oblique fascia before middle, in male reduced to a spot on fold, a tornal spot, another on costa opposite, and a more or less developed angular mark beyond and connecting these whitish, in female more distinct; plical stigma elongate, black.
