The wingspan is 6.5-7.5 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in May and again in August.[2]

The larvae feed on Alnus cordata, Alnus glutinosa and Alnus incana, mining the leaves of their host plant. They create an upper-surface, fairly small, almost flat tentiform mine with a yellow-green colour. The mine has a single, fairly strong fold and is mostly positioned over a lateral vein. The frass is deposited in a clump in a corner of the mine.[3]
