The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults are ochreous with several whitish streaks on the forewing and distinctively thickened bases to the antennae. Adults are on wing from June to July in western Europe.[2]
The larvae feed on betony (Stachys officinalis). They create a dark brown, bivalved, composite leaf case of about 10 mm long and composed of six to eight ringlets. The mouth angle is very sharp, causing the case to lie almost flat on the leaf.[3] Larvae can be found from autumn to mid-May.
Etymology
The species was named after the German entomologist Maximilian Ferdinand Wocke.
