The wingspan is 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in).[2] Forewings show a subquadrate large whitish dorsal blotch and a light brown colouration.[3] These moths are very similar to Epiblema scutulana and Epiblema cirsiana,[2][4] but they are generally browner and lighter.[2]
This species can be found in almost all of Europe, as well as the eastern Palearctic realm and the Near East.[1] It mainly occurs in waste grounds, rough meadows, damp grounds and coastal areas.[2]
