Leaf-miner
and case-bearer: A straw-coloured, slender, three-valved tubular silken case, about
10 mm long. Mouth angle 45° to 60°. Perhaps because of the
plant's dense felt cover, the case is attached with much silk, giving
the holes a conspicuous white margin (Bladmineerders
van Europa).

The larva is illustrated in (Bladmineerders
van Europa).
