The length of the forewings is 3.3-4.3 mm.
The larvae feed on Quercus chrysolepis var. nana. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is ovoid to quadrate. The epidermis is opaque yellow tan. All mines cross the midrib and consume 60%-95% of the leaf surface. The mines are solitary and normally have two parallel folds, occasionally one or three.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the type-locality (Mount Diablo) and the Latin suffix -ensis (denoting place, locality).
gollark: You just introduced it for some reason.
gollark: I mean in general, not this particular case.
gollark: Do you think the electoral college does not do this?
gollark: > Because in Michigan, those particular cities usually decide the votes due to their high population. I'm going to call it "favouring rural people" if they get more voting power than they would if it was proportional to actual population.
gollark: You could also call that a "representative democracy", but I don't think disputing definitions is helpful.
