The wingspan is 6–7 mm. The forewings are white, with chocolate brown or pale ocherous streaks and patches. The hindwings are whitish grey.

The larvae feed on Artemisia princeps. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The young larvae form a linear mine. Older larvae leave this first mine and enter the leaf through circular holes, mining out the leaf tissue. Pupation takes place in a white cocoon.
