The wingspan is 10.5–19 mm. The forewings are grey to light brown in males and dark stramineous or with a slight bronzy iridescence in females. The hindwings are either the same shade as the forewings or darker but always without a pattern.[1]
The larvae feed on Lithophragma species. The larvae are thought to be leaf miners.
