The larvae feed on Convolvulus canariensis and Convolvulus floridus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a slender corridor with a thick, central frass line that sometimes occupies the entire width of the leaf. Later, larvae create larger, brownish, full-depth fleck mines, often in different leaves.
