The length of the forewings is 3.1-4.2 mm.
The larvae feed on Quercus chrysolepis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is irregular and oblong to quadrate. The epidermis is opaque, yellow green. All mines cross the midrib and consume 50%-90% of the leaf surface. The mines are solitary and have two parallel folds.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the type-locality (Shenanigan Flat) and the Latin suffix -ensis (denoting place, locality)
