The forewing length is 2.6–3 mm for males and 3.2-3.5 mm for females. The forewings are dark purple to bluish-violet with mostly golden bronze markings. The hindwings are golden bronze, apically tinged purplish. Adults have been recorded on wing in June.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Andreas Stübner, who collected the species first during a trip around the Sierra Nevada.[2]
