The wingspan is 12–15 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish, finely irrorated with fuscous, often with some black scales, occasionally much suffused with dark fuscous ; several short oblique dark fuscous costal marks, one in middle largest ; stigmata sometimes indicated by black dashes ; often a black terminal spot below apex. Hindwings are light grey. The larva is dark brown ; head and plate of 2 black [2]

Adults are on wing from June to August.

The larvae feed on Ulex and Cytisus species, as well as Genista tinctoria . They spin the shoots of their host plant and feed within.
