The wingspan of this species is 10 mm. Head, scalp and thorax are light ivory grey with some yellowish suffusion. Its pattern is brownish but not too distinct: a spot on the shoulder, a triangular one at one-third on the costa, three other smaller spots on the costa in the apical third and three even smaller ones on the termen.[2]

The types were provided from Elisabethville (now Lubumbashi) 27-ix-1937 (Ch.Speidel).
