It is found in China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Manchuria), south-eastern Russia and Japan. The wingspan is about 24 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is mouse grey with two white dots at the end of the cell, from the first of which a dark line curves to the inner margin.
