12, 13mm. This species resembles pseudohypena but has a much more uniform chocolate-brown forewing within which the tranverse line is still distinct, with the brown slightly paler distal to it. The genitalia have the eighth segment rather capsulate, and the ostium is broad in a square pocket. The ductus bursae is very short, and the corpus bursae is ovate and much narrower than that of pseudohypena.
