The larvae feed on Bupleurum fruticosum and Bupleurum rigidum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of an upper-surface, whitish corridor. It is narrow at first, but considerably widening later. The frass is deposited in a thin black central line. Some mines are contorted and confined to a limited space, others follow a vein and are quite long.
