The wingspan is about 12 mm. The head is fuscous. Forewings dark purple-fuscous ; a sometimes interrupted fascia about 1/4, a subquadrate costal spot beyond middle, and a larger triangular dorsal spot before tornus yellow ; tips of apical cilia whitish. Hindwings dark fuscous.[1] Adults are on wing from May to July and fly in afternoon sunshine.
The larvae probably feed on Rubus species.
