Adults are brownish and unicolorous.

The larvae feed on Carex flacca. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a narrow corridor, completely filled with frass. It descends from just below the tip down to the leaf base. From there, it continues in the leaf. Full-grown larvae have been found in the hollowed out base of the stem.[2] Larvae can be found from April to June.
