The wingspan is 10–12 mm The forewing is reddish brown with narrow, grey cross-bands.

The imago is on wing from July to September.

The larvae mine the needles of Pinus sylvestris, Pinus contorta var. latifolia and Pinus nigra var. maritima and do not enter the buds or shoots. Trees show signs of defoliation and eventually shoots may die.
