The larvae feed on Rhamnus catharticus, Rhamnus frangula, Rhamnus imeritinus and Rhamnus saxatilis tinctorius. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a lower-surface, epidermal corridor, widening into a small full depth blotch in a vein axle. Most frass is concentrated in the axle. Older larvae live freely within a rolled leaf margin.[2]
