The larvae feed on Adenocarpus complicatus aureus, Adenocarpus foliolosus and Teline canariensis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a strongly contracted, lower-surface tentiform mine. The leaflet is folded lengthwise and completely eaten out. The leaf turns whitish-transparent. Pupation takes place within the mine.[2]
