Leaf-mine: Ovipisition on the upper part of the rachis of an unrolling leaf. The larva bores into the rachis, causing the distal part of the leaf to become stunted and finally necrotic. Often several larvae in a mine. Pupation outside the mine (Brown and McGavin, 1982a).

Larva: Details unknown.

Puparium: Details unknown.
