The length of the forewings is about 8.2 mm for males and 9.3 mm for females. The male forewings are tawny buff from the base to the postmedial region, fading to clay from the subterminal region to the wing apex. There is a faint umber discal spot. The hindwings are brown from the inner margin to the outer edge. The medial region is tannish peach mixed with ocher from the base along the anterior margin to the postmedial region.
