The forewings are whitish ochreous, towards the dorsum slightly tinged with rosy fuscous.

There are brownish-ochreous interneural streaks, sometimes sprinkled with fuscous, those running to the costa terminated by dots of blackish irroration (speckles).

There are three subdorsal pale tufts, tipped with blackish points.

The larvae live in a case which is open at both ends.

Pupation takes place in a case made of plant fibres arranged more or less longitudinally.
