The forewings are dark brown, a little bronzed, rather indistinctly dusted with ocherous, and still more indistinctly with white.
The larvae feed on Physalis viscosa. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They mine the under the surface, and produce a tubicular swelling of the upper surface. Pupation takes place amongst leaves on the ground.[3]
