Adults are very similar to Eupithecia indistincta, but the forewings have grayer ground color, a smaller discal dot and possess numerous, rather indistinct oblique crosslines.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing in June and July.
The larvae feed within the seed capsules of Schoenocaulon texanum.[4]
