Description
Male adults have ochrous brown forewings, mostly monochrome with only slight, scattered patterning, and a wingspan of 7–7.5 mm. Female adults are smaller, with a wingspan of 6.5 mm, and forewings that are lighter in colour and more noticeably patterned.[1]
Male genitalia are distinctive from other Bucculatrix species. Female genitalia closely resemble those of Bucculatrix mehadiensis, from which it can be distinguished by external appearance.[1]
