Leafmine. Egg on leaf upperside. Mine a highly contorted gallery, often following veins partially, filled with black frass. Not separable from other gallery mines of E. haraldi , ilicis or heringella .

Larva. According to original description the larva is green. However, while collecting the French material, EJvN did not note any green colour and larvae were tentatively identified as ilicis / haraldi . Since the latter have normally whitish larvae, the original description is probably incorrect, or refers to the colour as appearing inside the mine. No ventral plates have been observed.

Life history. Probably univoltine, adults on the wing in June and July, larvae found in February-March in France, April in Algeria (high mountains).

Distribution. France, Mediterranean area: Van Nieukerken et al. 2006. Otherwise only known from the Atlas mountains in Algeria and Morocco.
