The wingspan is 24–25 mm. The forewing ground colour is chestnut with an ochreous stripe and one median longitudinal green patch delimited by white lines and a subsequent wide brown border.

Adults have been recorded on wing from late May to late June, in mid- and late July and from mid-August to mid-September, possibly in two generations per year.^[1]
