The wings are greyish with well-defined pale spots; those at the tips of cells r5, m1 and m2 do not quite reach the wing margin. The second radial cell is dark, with the pale spot just beyond that cell extending down towards vein M1 and along the vein towards the wing tip. The female AR is 1.32 -1.49; the SD is 3-15. The variety described by Callot et al. as paucisensillatus lacks sensilla on 15, and seems to be widespread in southern Europe. The male differs from other closely related species in that the ninth sternite membrane is spiculate. The figures are from Kremer (1966).
As its name suggests, it is found in coastal localities and particularly salt marshes.
Throughout Europe from U.K. to Russia, and countries bordering the Mediterranean.
Nothing known.
