The length of the forewings is 19 mm for males. The forewings are a mixture of red-brown and gray-brown scales. The ground color appears even dark red brown, but minimally darker in basal, medial and terminal areas. The dorsal hindwings are light gray orange to light fuscous, minimally darker and grayer on the distal half. Adults are on wing from late July to early August.
The larvae probably feed on Iris species.
