It is found in Europe, where it has been recorded from Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary and Russia.[2] The habitat consists of coniferous woodlands.[3]
The wingspan is 21–25 mm. Adults are on wing in one generation from August to late October and, after hibernation, from mid-March to May.[4]
