Abia fasciata is a blackish species with a violet sheen. Body length about 12 mm. Females have a white propodeum and metanotum. Wings are milky at the base with a dark central band and clear apex. It seems to be mainly parthenogenetic and males are rarely recorded. Males are very rare but lack the velvety patches on the tergites that are found on males of other Abia species. Adults can be recorded from April to August and seem to bivoltine in some areas.
The caterpillar-like larvae are pale grey with scattered dark spots, yellow bars along the lower flanks and a darker grey head capsule. Larvae feed on the foliage of the Caprifoliaceae family which includes honeysuckle, snowberry and pheasantberry, etc.
