The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are canary yellow and the costa is bright rosy for two-thirds from the base. There is a bright rosy outer band, which merges with a broad marginal band of the same colour at the inner angle. The hindwings are white.[4] Adults are on wing from May to September.[5]
