The wingspan is 10–15 mm. Adults are sexually dimorphic. The forewings of the larger females are stramineous, while those of the males are brown to dark yellow with a slight purple iridescence. Both sexes have small, dark brown spots. The hindwings are medium to dark grey.[1]
The larvae feed on Mitella stauropetala. The larvae are thought to be leaf miners.
