The wingspan is 6.4-7.2 mm. Adults are on wing from July to early October, but some specimens from Marbella were taken in June. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Quercus coccifera, Quercus ilex, Quercus ilex rotundifolia and Quercus suber. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow corridor, filled with frass, that widens into a large, oval, upper-surface blotch with frass concentrated in its basal part and along the sides.
