The wingspan is about 19 mm.[3]
The larvae feed on Abies alba. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The larva mines a single leaf and drops to the ground with this leaf. It then cuts it and uses it as a case to feed on detritus.[4] Mining larvae can be found in June. The larvae are whitish with a brown head.
