It is native to the Palearctic.[2]
The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The ground color of the forewings is ochre with two oval, blue-grey spots at the dorsal edge, from each of which there is an irregular, wide, light cross-band to the costal edge. At the costa between the two cross-bands there is a large black spot with a light core, this can also extend outside the outer cross-band. The hindwings are light grey-brown.
The moth flies in May–June.
This species lives in deciduous forests where the larvae develop between tangled leaves on Quercus spp., occasionally Betula or other deciduous trees.
