The wingspan is 18–24 millimetres (0.71–0.94 in). Eupithecia satyrata is variable in pattern. The ground colour of the wings is ash grey or brownish. The veins often have a black with white dusting. There are paler crosslines. On the forewings a very indistinct terminal fascia ends in a tiny tornal spot. There is a fine discal spot on the forewing. This is absent on the hindwing.[2][3][4] Prout gives an account of the variations.[5]
Adults are on wing from March to September. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on the flowers of a wide range of plants, including Achillea, Scabiosa, Solidago, Senecio and Erica tetralix.
