The wingspan is 10–14 mm.[3] There are two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Inula conyzae. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large brown blotch in the lower leaves. The frass is dispersed in the mine. Several larvae may be found in a single mine. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[4] Larvae can be found from May to August.
