Naming
The species was described by Thomas Bainbrigge Fletcher in 1926. Some authors consider it a synonym of ''Sinpunctiptilia emissalis''.Behavior
Adults have a weak, almost hovering flight.Food
The larvae feed on the leaves of ''Parahebe'' species, including ''Parahebe perfoliata''. At first, feeding results in a blotch mine on the upper surface of the leaf. Later, the larvae feed exposed on the upper surface of the leaf. The pupa is elongate, without a cocoon, and rests on the vegetation attached to a silk pad by hooks at the rear end.References:
