The wingspan is about 16.5 mm (0.65 in). The forewings are pale mouse-grey, sprinkled with fuscous scales and with a slight fuscous suffusion along the costa and three ill-defined fuscous spots along the disc, the first near the base and the second before the middle, the third at the end of the cell. The hindwings are pale stone-grey.
The larvae feed on Helianthemum lavandulaefolium.[3]
