The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are smoky brown with obscure crosslines.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from November to March and in May, possibly representing a second generation.
The larvae feed on the flowers of Arbutus pungens.[4] They are cryptically patterned and colored to match the flowers of their host plant.
