The wingspan is 17–19 millimetres (0.67–0.75 in).[2]

The larvae feed on Centaurea aspera, Centaurea jacea, Centaurea scabiosa and Serratula tinctoria. They create a spathulate leaf case of up to 15 millimetres (0.59 in) long. It is yellowish white to ochreous brown. The mouth angle is about 45°.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in June.
