The wingspan is 8–9 millimetres (0.31–0.35 in).[3] The head is whitish, mixed in middle with dark fuscous. Forewings are brownish-whitish, irrorated with dark fuscous; two pairs of oblique whitish costal and dorsal streaks before middle and at 3/4, intermediate space dark fuscous towards costa. Hindwings are grey. The larva is dull green, more whitish laterally, the spots white and the head brown.[4]
Adults are on wing from May to early June in one generation per year.[5]
The larvae of ssp. demaryella feed on Betula nana, Betula pendula, Betula pubescens and Corylus avellana,[6] while the larvae of ssp. castaneae feed on Acer species and Castanea sativa. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a short, full depth corridor, often along the midrib or a thick vein. Most of the mine has a thick frass line. The larvae leave the mine and engage in window-feeding. Later, it starts eating holes in the leaf.[7] Larvae can be found from June to July. Young larvae are pale yellow with a darker head while older larvae are grey green. Pupates takes place in a greyish ochreous cocoon spun amongst debris.
