The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are blue-grey with four greyish brown transverse lines. There is a creamy white patch on the costa, preceded and followed by chestnut brown and another smaller creamy brown patch beyond this. The hindwings are greyish brown.[3]

The larvae feed on Pterocarya rhoifolia[4] and Juglans species.
