The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewing pattern is similar to Carodista grypotatos, but the costal yellowish patch is weakly represented and smaller and the postmedian line is more distinct. The hindwings are grey.
The species name refers to the three lobes of the juxta in the male genitalia and is derived from tri (meaning three) and brachi (meaning arm).[2]
