The length of the forewings is 5–6 mm. The forewings are blackish brown with distinct white markings. Adults have been recorded on wing from mid-June to late August.

The larvae feed on Silene nutans. They feed from between two spun leaves, eating the inner surface of the leaves. Larvae can be found from early May to late June. After overwintering, pupation takes place on the ground.[4]
