The wingspan is 6–8 millimetres (0.24–0.31 in). Adults are on wing in June.[2]

The larvae feed on Calamagrostis arundinacea. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a pale yellowish, rather narrow, inconspicuous, ascending corridor in the distal half of the leaf. It runs along the leaf margin. The frass is deposited along the sides.[3] Larvae can be found from September to October. They are pale yellowish.
