The larvae feed on Haloxylon persicum. They form galls on the branches of their host plant. These are oblong-oval, up to 15 mm (0.59 in) long, and have the form of slightly bulging branches. They are found only on previous year's thin branches. Larvae can be found from August to September and (after hibernation) from April to May.[3]
