The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are very pointed, fuscous, mievenly sprinkled with ochreous-whitish, sometimes forming indistinct darker and lighter fasciae; an oblong ochreous-whitish suffusion in disc at 2/3 followed by a dark fuscous dot; a very indistinct ochreous-whitish tornal spot beneath this, and costal spot beyond it. Hindwings are grey.
Adults are on wing from June to July.
The larvae feed within stems of common spike-rush.
