Biology: The white larvae develop in leaf galls on Glechoma hederacea and G. hirsuta ( Lamiaceae ). Our records are all from G. hederacea . The larvae develop singly in hairy, upright, up to 4 mm long cylindrical galls on

the upper side of the leaf. The gall eventually detaches from the leaf, leaving a circular hole. Pupation takes place in the gall or in the soil. Bi- or multivoltine.

Distribution: Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
