The length of the forewings is 17–21 mm. The upperside of the head, thorax and abdomen is slate-grey, with a blackish-brown medial crest on the head and thorax. The underside of the palps, thorax and base of the abdomen are dirty light brown-fawn and the remainder of the abdomen is hazel-brown, while the edges of segments are more orange with a white dot on each side. The forewing upperside is slate-grey with a brown band running from the middle of the costa to below the middle of the outer margin, shading off proximally to a pale grey space. Distal of the band is a black patch which is somewhat glossy and dentate on the distal edge.
