Forewing with base of costa often blackish brown.

Markings of forewing may consist of dark stigmata, hyaline discal spot or other pale or dark spots.

10.0-16.0mm. July (only one specimen); alien? Forewing unicolorous greyish brown. Hindwing paler, slightly hyaline.

9.0-16.0mm. April to October (indoors). Frons and vertex ochreous, sometimes with greyish tinge; antenna three-quarters length of costa forewing.

8.0-16.0mm. Mid May to early August. Frons and vertex ochreous brown to dark brown; antenna two-thirds length of costa forewing. For marked form see couplet 14.

Forewing sometimes with a series of rather indistinct small costal spots.

12mm. June. Forewing pale greyish brown, sprinkled with dark greyish brown scales; stigmata greyish brown, first discal and plical spots ill-defined, second discal small, but rather distinct. Hyaline spot lacks scales on underside of wing and is covered above with thin, colourless scales or scales of ground colour; other Tinea-species may also have such a hyaline spot, but in T. steueri it is more conspicuous and the costa is convex around the spot. Frons and vertex ochreous, slightly reddish.
