It is found from along the southern shores of the Baltic Sea to China, the Levant and North Africa. Migrants have been reported as far west as Great Britain with three in one trap at St Agnes, Isles of Scilly on 10 August 1997.

The wingspan is 40–48 mm. Adults are on wing from September to December. There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on the roots of Poaceae species and other low growing herbaceous plants.
