The length of the forewings is 6.5–7 mm. The forewings are light orange, with a dark fuscous fascia along the anterior margin at the basal one-third, followed by three or four dark fuscous oblique strigulae. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the distal part.[3]
The larvae feed on Lespedeza species.
