Description: The wingspan of this moth species ranges from 18 to 32 mm. It is a brown-speckled moth. The antennae are wire-shaped and a little over half as long as the forewings. The head is covered in short, grey-brown, hair-like scales. The thorax is brown, with lighter-colored sides. The forewings are rounded, and their base color is yellow-brown with darker markings, as well as some small white spots. In the middle of the forewing, a comma-shaped darker spot extends from the back edge, and this spot is edged with white. The forewing has fringes that are dark grey-brown, featuring a narrow light middle stripe and four narrow white fields. The hind wing is grey, with short hair fringes that are light grey, with a darker band running through the middle. The larva is dirty yellowish white, with a dark brown head.
