It is native to Europe.[2] and across the Palearctic.
The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The face and palpi are dark fuscous, whitish-sprinkled. The forewings are dark fuscous, somewhat sprinkled finely with grey-whitish. The costa is posteriorly strigulated with silvery-white. The edge of the basal patch and a narrow angulated central fascia are darker, edged with silvery-metallic.
