Food

The larvae feed on ''Celtis australis'' and ''Humulus lupulus''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small, triangular, full depth blotch mine in a vein axle. Part of the frass is ejected and the remainder lies scattered in the mine. Older larvae live freely under a rolled leaf margin.
