Forewing length of 7-12 mm. Forewings golden ochreous mottled with brown. An incomplete band runs from the middle of the costa towards the bottom corner.
Hindwings are white to ochreous-white, sometimes speckled with grey.
Larvae feed on leaves, flowers, buds and fruit. Leaves are folded together using silk and growing points can be deformed as a result of feeding damage. Scars on fruit are
also caused by fruit feeding.
