The wingspan is about {{convert|10|mm}}. The head and thorax are pale fawn in color. The abdomen is whitish, with a tinge of fawn color on the sides and above posteriorly. The forewings are very pale fawn color, dusted with fuscous brown scales along the costa, especially above the base of the fissure and near the base of the hind margin. Two indistinct white stripes cross the lobes of the forewings, one beyond and the other before the middle, cutting the fawn-colored fringes on each side. The hindwings are pale greyish-brown, with cinereous fringes interrupted with white behind and at the apex.[4]

The larvae feed on Chrysopsis scabrella and Arctostaphylos columbiana.[5] They feed on the young leaves and bracts of unopened flowers of Chrysopsis species.
