Mine
The wingspan is 6.5–7 mm.
The larvae feed on Ostrya species (including Ostrya virginiana). They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. There are numerous longitudinal folds in the loosened epidermis at maturity, causing the opposite halves of the leaf to approach one another.
