The hindwings are grey. The larvae feed on an unidentified Cyperaceae species. They mine the culms of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow gallery which is directed straight upward. Later it turns downward, first under the epidermis, broadening until the whole stem is hollow. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
