The wingspan is 14–17 millimetres (0.55–0.67 in). Very similar to Ancylis badiana but differs as follows: forewings with markings bright ferruginous-brown, antemedian fascia less angulated, less distinctly interrupted, not dilated on dorsum.[3] Julius von Kennel provides a full description.[4]
The moth flies from May to July and are often attracted to light.
The larvae feed on Cirsium.
