The species is known to occur in Russia.[2] An old and unconfirmed record exists for Cyprus.[2] Apomyelois schaeuffelella, described in 1959 by Hans Georg Amsel and considered a junior synonym of Apomyelois cognata, was described from Iran.[2]

Adults of the species resemble those of Apomyelois bistriatella,[lower-alpha 1] but are larger, have broader forewings of which the markings are more contrasting than in A. bistriatella, and show some genital differences.[2] The wing pattern and colouring is slightly variable.[2] The wingspan is 20–23 mm.[3]
