The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewing termen is faintly sinuate. The ground colour is whitish, striated with brown and grey. A sinuate fascia limits the basal patch. The central fascia has a posterior indented prominence in the middle. There is a subtriangular praetornal spot, a straight subapical fascia, and a triangular apical spot trifurcate on costa all ferruginous - brown more or less sprinkled with black. The hindwings are light grey. The larva dull yellow-green; head and plate of 2 black.[1] Julius von Kennel provides a full description.[2]
The adult moths fly in June, July and August.
The larvae are polyphagous, feeding on a variety of herbaceous plants, including Genista tinctoria, Hieracium, Lotus and Plantago.
