The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are fuscous, mixed with yellow-ochreous. The median third is mixed with white and there is a small white basal spot, as well as a white spot on the costa near the base.

Adults of this species have been found on the slopes below the Coronet Peak ski field and larvae are present there on seepage mosses.[7]
