The wingspan is 3–4 millimetres (0.12–0.16 in).

The larvae feed on Vitis vinifera . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a relatively long, slender gallery. Later, the mine becomes a small blotch with small cut-outs. Pupation takes place in a cocoon which is often attached to the stems or leaves of the host plant. [2]
