Adults are gray with two pairs of grayish-white dorsal strigulae. Males lack a forewing costal fold.

Cydia garacana is similar to other Nearctic Cydia, such as C. populana and C. flexiloqua. A genitalic dissection is recommended to confirm identity; consult Heinrich (1926) for genitalic differences between species listed here.
