Description


The wingspan is 7–9.3 millimetres (0.28–0.37 in).

The larvae feed on hairy wood-rush (Luzula pilosa). They form a strongly contracted upper-surface tentiform mine, generally in the lower third of the leaf, beginning at the leaf base. Mostly, a second or third mine is made which starts at the leaf tip. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]


Distribution


It is found from Fennoscandia to Switzerland and Austria, and from Great Britain to Poland.[3] It is also found in Japan.[4]
