It is also present in British Columbia and Washington (state) .[2]
The wingspan is 30–32 mm. Adults have pale gray forewings with black zigzag lines, although these are sometimes broken into dots. The reniform spot is black with white dots around the perimeter. The hindwings are whitish basally, but have gray shading distally. They are on wing from July to October in one generation per year.
