Description

The wingspan is 9–10 millimetres (0.35–0.39 in). [1] Adults are on wing from June to July in one generation per year. [2]

The larvae feed on Avenula pubescens , false-brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ), cock's-foot ( Dactylis glomerata ), creeping soft grass ( Holcus mollis ) and wood millet ( Milium effusum ). They mine the leaves of their host plant. First, they create a long, somewhat blistered, slightly transparent corridor. Later, they mine the basal leaves lying on the ground. [3] Larvae are light yellow with a light brown head and can be found from autumn to the end of May.
