It is similar in size and pattern to Lintneria eremitus, but the wings are slimmer, the ground colour of the head, thorax and forewing uppersides is more grey-brown, the abdomen underside is darker grey and the underside of both wings is more grey and less well-marked.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Salvia ballotaeflora.
