The length of the forewings is about 6.6 mm. The forewings are nearly unicolorous milky white, with some slightly greyish scales and two black stigmata, as well as a poorly defined, ochreous brown shade subtending the stigmata and in the subterminal area. There is also a series of five ill-defined, black submarginal dots from the apex to the tornus. The hindwings are white.
The larvae feed on Madia species, possibly including Madia madioides.[3]
