The larvae feed on Chamaecytisus austriacus, Chamaecytisus ratisbonensis, Chamaecytisus supinus and Lembotropis nigricans. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a round, flat, blotch without a trace of a preceding gallery. There is much granular frass, in indistinct concentric arcs. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]
