The wingspan is 4.5–6 mm. There are two or three generations per year. The larvae of the first generation become full-grown in June.
The larvae feed on Nyssa sylvatica. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is narrow and linear at first, then abruptly enlarging into a blotch. The cocoon is pale greenish brown.
