It is known from the United States (California).The length of the forewings is 3.5-4 mm. The larvae feed on Quercus garryana and Quercus lobata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Pupation takes place within the mine. It overwinters as a pupa. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
