The wingspan is 7–8 mm.
The larvae feed on Viburnum erubescens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a rather small, elongate, tentiformed blotch occurring upon the lower surface of the leaf, usually situated on the space between two lateral veins. In fully developed state, the upper epidermis of the leaf on the mining part is brownish, much constricted longitudinally, with five or more moderate ridges.
