This species can be found in Great Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania,[2] Transcaucasia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, and Turkmenistan.[3]
The wingspan is 20–27 mm.[4] The basic color of the upperside forewings is whitish, with several longitudinal brown lines and two transverse brown lines.
It is very similar to Chrysocrambus craterella, but it can be distinguished by the less curved course of the median line and by the lack at the apex of the forewings of a double soft brown line. It could be overlooked as Thisanotia chrysonuchella.[5]
Adults are on wing from June to the end of August in one generation per year.[6] The larvae feed on roots of grasses (Poaceae species).[7]
