Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and hedgerows throughout much of southern Britain, north to Lancashire. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight apparently restricted to Botley Wood and the north of the Island. Wingspan 8-9 mm. Since adults come to light only occasionally, more frequently recorded in the larval stage, when mines are relatively easy to find where they are present. Larva mines leaves of Dog-rose, over-wintering as a pupa. The mines are described in the following link:
