The adult moth is pale gray and up to 12 mm long, with dark bands. The wingspan is between 16-20 mm. The larva is off-white with a darker head and about 12 mm long when mature.

They are commonly called "flour moths" or "pantry moths." The Mediterranean flour moth is slightly larger than the Indian meal moth.
