The basal patch, central fascia, and the included space are brown much spotted with black, somewhat mixed with white, especially on space towards costa> The posterior edge of the fascia slightly concave, with two prominences on lower half. There is a brown terminal streak from apex, preceded by several black dots. The hindwings are light grey, darker terminally.[2] Julius von Kennel provides a full description. [3]
Adults are on wing from May to July.[4]
The larvae feed on Betula species. They live between two leaves spun together.[5]
