The wingspan is 5.9–7.6 mm.
The larvae feed on Shorea maxima. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a linear gallery on the lower surface of the leaf, usually extending from the mid-vein to the margin of leaf, then it is broadened into a blotch along the margin. Finally, the lower surface of the mine is contracted to make a narrow fold of the leaf.
Etymology
This species is named in honour of Mr. Azmi Mahyudin of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
