Adults are very similar to Acleris robinsoniana, but with less prominent pure white scaling on the rear portion of the thorax and with the basal area of the forewing rather evenly dull grey-brown without contrasting white scaling or obscuring blackish shading frequently found in robinsoniana forms.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing in February and from August to September.

The larvae feed on Alnus, Betula and Corylus species.[4]
