It is found from Fennoscandia south to Italy, Austria and Slovakia and from the Netherlands and Belgium east to southern Russia and the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone. It is extinct in Great Britain, where it was known from damp heathland in the neighbourhood of King's Lynn in Norfolk, where it was last seen around 1900. The wingspan is 18–28 mm. The larvae feed on Betula, Corylus, Myrica gale and Vaccinium myrtillus. They feed between spun leaves. The larvae can be found from May to June.
