The forewings are uniform deep purple-grey with a slight admixture of burnt-sienna scaling and a small ruddy shade at the base of the wing. The hindwings are semihyaline whitish, but slightly smoky apically.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from January to November.

The larvae feed on Myrica gale, Picea engelmannii, Picea glauca, Aronia melanocarpa, Spiraea and Rubus species.[4]
