Leaf-mine: The larva initially forms a gallery along the midrib, which then goes out along a vein. The end of this gallery is then excised to construct the first case. It then feeds close to this and makes several small mines (British leafminers). The leaf-mine and case are also illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineerders. Larva: Details unknown. Pupa: Details unknown. Hosts in Britain: Ulmaceae       Ulmus     British leafminers Ulmus     Plant, in Pitkin & Plant, 2005 Ulmus     UKMoths Hosts elsewhere: Ulmaceae       Ulmus     Nederlandse bladmineerders Time of year - mines: September - May (British leafminers). Time of year - adults: The adults fly in June and July and occasionally come to light. Distribution in Britain: Locally distributed throughout much of England (UKMoths) including East Kent, Hunts and North Essex (NBN Gateway distribution map - BRERC and NE) and the Channel Is.
