The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is black with three white lines. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
The larvae feed on Convolvulus althaeoides, Convolvulus althaeoides tenuissimus and Convolvulus cantabrica. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow gallery where all the frass is concentrated. This narrow area quickly widens into a large blotch. The larvae create silk, which they deposit in the mine, causing some length folds to develop.[3] The larvae can be found in May.
