7-8mm. The forewings are relatively deep, strikingly patterned with dark
grey on a pale, silvery grey ground as illustrated; the medial dark triangular
area is distinctive, much more intense than in conglobalis. In the male

somewhat triangular, not trilobed, and the uncus consists of a single process,
possibly homologous with the ventral lobe in other species.
