The wingspan is about 40 mm. There are cream markings on the forewings, extending along the entire length of the dorsal margin and over the terminal area. The terminal margin has a few rusty-brown spots.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Globifomes graveolens, Fomes species and possibly other bracket fungi.[1]
