The larvae feed on Ulmus glabra, Ulmus laevis and Ulmus minor. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface (but sometimes upper-surface) weakly folded tentiform mine. The folded side of the mine is ochraceous. The pupa is blackish and found within the mine, in a very loose cocoon.
