Description

The wingspan is 4.5–6.2 millimetres (0.18–0.24 in). Adults are on wing from April to September.

The larvae feed on Salix lapponum , Salix repens and Salix repens arenaria, mining the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a short gallery, often partly following the leaf margin, almost completely stuffed with frass. The corridor gradually widens into a blotch that can occupy up to half of a leaf. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [1]

Distribution

The moth is found from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to the Alps and from Ireland to central Russia. Some authors consider the form lappovimella to be a distinct species. It occurs in northern Fennoscandia.
