The wingspan is 5–6 mm. Adults are on wing in July. The head is pale ochreous and the antennal eyecaps ochreous-white. The forewings are black with a somewhat bent sometimes interrupted shining silvery fascia in middle. The outer half of cilia beyond a black line are white. Hind wings are grey. [1]

The larvae feed on Filipendula vulgaris , Rosa canina , Rosa pendulina , Rosa sempervirens , Sanguisorba minor and Sanguisorba officinalis . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a strongly contorted, intestine-like corridor with brown and coiled frass. The last part of the corridor often follows the leaf margin for some distance. At the end, the corridor widens into an elongate blotch. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
