The wingspan is about 10–15 mm. The forewings are suboblong, deep orange -ferruginous, yellower towards dorsum anteriorly, suffusedly streaked transversely with pale violet, sometimes mixed posteriorly with whitish and blackish scales. Tufts are absent and there is a triangular white often black-edged costal blotch beyond middle. The cilia are ochreous-yellowish, on tornus dark grey. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly. The larva is yellowish with a pale brown head.[2][3] Julius von Kennel provides a full description.[4]
Adults are on wing from July to August. There is one generation per year.[5]
