It is native to Europe.[2] The wingspan is 10-11 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with obscure violet - metallic striae, and the costa obscurely paler strigulated. There is a triangular white median dorsal spot, usually enclosing an obscure fuscous dorsal dot. The hindwings are fuscous, in the male with a broad terminal and dorsal dark fuscous fascia, in the female darker throughout.[3]
