The larval tunnels often interconnect with those of other Caterpillars of the same species.

The Caterpillars pupate in their tunnel near the entrance in a cocoon covered in frass.

The adult moths are grey with a pale diagonal band and a fine black tracery on each forewing. They have a wingspan of about 5 cms.

The species occurs in southern Queensland.
