The length of the forewings is 3.06–3.33 mm. The forewings are elongate and the ground colour is golden ochreous with white markings. The hindwings are uniformly pale fuscous and a light fuscous fringe. Adults are on wing from early March to mid-May and from late June to late October.[3]
The larvae feed on Brachylaena discolor and Brachylaena rotundata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a semi-circular or oval tentiform mine on the underside of the leaf.
