The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are pale stony cinereous (ash grey) evenly speckled with small groups of blackish scales. The hindwings are shining, pale tawny cinereous.[2]

The larvae feed on Bupleurum rigidum species. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant.[3] Larvae can be found at the end of June.
