The wingspan is 10–13 mm.[2] Adults are on wing in July.
The larvae feed on Lotus corniculatus, Lotus uliginosus, Medicago and Trifolium species. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of an irregular blotchy rather small mine. Soon the larvae leave the mine, and start mining from between few spun leaves.[3] Larvae can be found in May and June.[4]
