The forewings are whitish-ochreous, disc and apex sometimes tinged with yellowish-brown; lines fine, dark brown, very obliquely curved, indented beneath costa, first very indistinct towards costa; two small transversely placed discal spots outlined with dark fuscous, lower larger; a dark fuscous oblique apical streak; margins of subterminal line obscurely brownish. The hindwings are ochreous- whitish with a grey posterior line. The larva is yellowish-green; dorsal and lateral lines darker green; head yellowish
The length of the forewings 12–14 mm. The moth flies from May to September depending on the location.
