The length of the forewings is about 9.9 mm. The forewings are slate-grey with a blackish-grey costal margin, interspersed with paler scales. The hindwings are greyish-silvery white.

The larvae feed on Muehlenbeckia hastulata. They roll the leaves of their host plant and feed from within the feeding tube.
