The wingspan is about 10.5 mm for males and 11–13 mm for females.

The larvae feed on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica. They create a brownish-grey leaf-case which is slightly bent towards the base and 11–12 mm in length. The larvae mine into the leaf of their host plant until mid-June, but some are full-grown before hibernation.[3]
