The wings are dusky grey with numerous black and dull white wavy transverse lines. Adults are on wing in January and February.[5]
The larvae feed inside the flower heads of Celmisia lindsayi.[6] Adult moths have been shown to pollinate Celmisia discolor, Celmisia gracilenta and Helichrysum selago.[7]
