The wingspan is 24–25 mm. The forewing ground colour is chestnut with an ochreous stripe and one median longitudinal green patch delimited by white lines and a subsequent wide brown border. The hindwings are chestnut. The anal margin and marginal scales are ochreous. Adults have been recorded on wing from late May to late June, in mid- and late July and from mid-August to mid-September, possibly in two generations per year.[1]
