It is known from the United States (Ohio and Maine). The larvae feed on Apocynum cannabinum. They mine the stem of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long whitish serpentine mine on the stem. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
