The wingspan is 11–13 mm. Adults are on wing in June. [2]
The larvae feed on Primula farinosa and Primula veris . They mine the leaves of their host plant.

The mine is strongly folded lengthwise. Full-grown larvae leave the mine to pupate. They attach the pupa to the apical part of a fresh leave. [3] Larvae can be found in May. They are dark red, mottled with greyish white.
