The wingspan is 18–22 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from mid-July to August.[2]
The larvae feed on Globularia cordifolia and Globularia punctata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a corridor, forming a loose spiral. The mine is full depth. The frass is deposited in a broad central line. The final part of the mine has the form of a blotch. Older larvae live freely amongst spun leaves. Larvae have been recorded in May, but also in November.[3]
