The larvae are leaf miners and feed on species of birch, alder, and hazel.[5] The mine consists of a short tortuous corridor that widens into a blotch, often between two lateral veins, with scattered frass.[3] Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[3]
This species was first described by Swedish naturalist Johan Wilhelm Zetterstedt in 1839.[1]
