The chestnut leafroller has an average wingspan between 13–17 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July in western Europe.
The larvae feed on Castanea, Fagus and Quercus species. It is considered a serious pest on sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa). The larvae feed internally in the acorns or nuts of the host plant.
