The wingspan is Шаблон:Convert.[1] Adults are on wing year round.

The larvae feed on Baccharis (including Baccharis halimifolia, Baccharis salicina, Baccharis neglecta and Baccharis angustifolia)[2] and Pluchea sericea.[3] The feeding results in long narrow galleries in the stem of the host plant.
