Illustration from John Curtis's British Entomology Volume 1
The wingspan is 20-25 mm. It is a small species and somewhat resembles the Tortricidae. It used to be thought to be related to that family, and was known as the Large Marbled Tortrix. Adults are on wing adults in late autumn, overwintering and appearing again in early spring.
The larvae mainly feed on Quercus species, including Quercus robur, but have also been recorded on Populus and Salix species.
