The wingspan is 14–18 mm. It is a very variable species. Some forms are very similar to Acleris notana and the two can only separated by examination of the genitalia.Julius von Kennel provides a full description.[5]

Adults are on wing in July and again in September and October. The second generation overwinters and reappears in spring.[6]

The larvae feed on Quercus species. They feed from within a spinning between the leaves of their host plant.
