General Description
fornì da University of Alberta Museums
"The most prominent markings on the forewing are the slanted broad median band and triangle on the costa short of the apex which are medium to dark brown. The ground colour of the forewing varies from pale grey to medium brown. The basal patch is normally faintly indicated, though may occasionally be as dark and prominent as the median band. Fine brown spots are normally present through the pale part of the wing and are often organized into lines. The hindwing is very pale breyish or brownish.
The larva is pale with a yellow head that has dark pigment in the ocellar area. The pinacula are fairly large and have long setae. (Mackay 1962)"

The length of the forewings is 6.4–10.6 mm. The ground colour of the forewings varies from dark brown to white. The hindwings are white. Adults are on wing from April to June and again from September to October in two generations per year in the southern part of the range.
The larvae feed on Scrophularia, Cynara scolymus and Stachys species. They hollow out the terminal shoots of their host plant and feed on leaves webbed to the larval shelter.[3]
