The wingspan is 30–33 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous brown transversed by two lines, the first curved and slightly indented below the costa, while the second is dark brown and angled below the costa, where it is joined by a short oblique line from the apex. There is a black spot in the cell and the apex is purplish brown. The submarginal line is brown and runs from the angle of the second line to the inner margin. The hindwings are pale straw, dusted with pale ochreous brown, transversed by four brownish lines.[3]
The larvae feed on Carpinus, Corylus, Juglans and Pourthiaea species.
