The length of the forewings is 8.5–10 mm for males and 8.5-9.2 mm for females. The forewings have blackish scales with whitish tips, forming irregular shades between three more prominent stigmata in the discal area and others at one-fifth along the costa. The ochreous shades are limited to thin longitudinal, subcostal, and axial lines and faint spots surround the black dots of the discal area. There is a longitudinal blackish shade at the apex. The hindwings are grey.
The larvae possibly feed on Ericameria ericoides.[3]
