The wingspan is 3.6–4.8 millimetres (0.14–0.19 in). There are two or possibly three generations per year. Full-grown larvae have been collected in June, August and September.

The larvae feed on Tilia americana . They mine the leaves of their host plant. At first, the mine is within the parenchyma of the leaf and barely visible on the upper surface. Later it broadens into a blotch or broad tract and becomes transparent. The frass is deposited in sinuous curves.
