## Classification

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with light ochreous and with light brownish-ochreous markings, irregularly irrorated with dark fuscous. There is a moderate cloudy streak from the base beneath the costa to the apex. A rather broad streak is found along the inner margin from near the base to the anal angle, confluent with a small spot on the submedian fold before the middle. There is an irregular cloudy transverse streak from before two-thirds of the costa to the anal angle. A broader cloudy transverse streak, is angulated outwards above the middle, from three-fourths of the costa to the anal angle, where it coalesces with the preceding. There is also a cloudy streak around the apex and along the hindmargin. The hindwings are fuscous whitish, the terminal third suffused with fuscous, darker posteriorly.
