The larvae feed on Quercus pubescens. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a small, lower-surface, tentiform mine, with one strong fold in the lower epidermis. The upperside of the mine is mostly entirely eaten out. The pupa is located in the mine in a silken cocoon, that is attached to the mine at its upper and lower side. The frass is deposited along the sides of the cocoon.[2]
