The wingspan is 9.1-10.9 mm. The forewings are light brown, mottled with white along the margins. The hindwings are vestigial. Adults have been recorded on wing in February. They are active during the day. The adults have been observed and collected in the burrows of Rhombomys opimus and Spermophilopsis leptodactylus. The moths go deeply into the burrows at night and when there is frost in the daytime.
The larvae probably feed on Carex physodes.
Etymology
The species name refers to the extremely narrowed forewing, the most characteristic feature of the species.[1]

gollark: It provides v6 over v4 tunnels.
