The wingspan is 8.3-11.25 mm for males and 9.2-11.6 mm for females. The forewings are white with dark bands in males. The hindwings are white with a grey area along the front edge.[1] Adults are on wing in late April.

The larvae feed on Yucca periculosa and Yucca mixtecana. They feed superficially inside the stalk, and can diapause for at least three years before pupation and emergence.
