==Description== It is a small ([[wingspan]] 22β25 mm), easily missed species. The wings are creamy white with darker bands with a small black discal spot on each wing. The basic colouring and pattern vary relatively little. The ground colour is yellowish white to slightly brownish white, the pattern elements are brown to dark brown. On the forewings the interior crossline is the most clearly shown. However, the outer crossline is usually significantly developed. A pale wavy line that is lined with inner and outer darker colour is located in the marginal field. Forewings and hindwings have black discal spots. On the front wings, these are basal to the middle crossline, on the rear wings they are distal to the interior crossline. Marginal stains are dark brown in colour, but dimly developed. The larva is long and thin, with a few short setae, brownish grey with a white side stripe.<ref>Hausmann, A, 2021 In: Axel Hausmann (Hrsg.): ''The Geometrid Moths of Europe''. 1. Auflage.
