It is found along the coasts of Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean Seas, where it has been recorded from Croatia and Greece. The wingspan is 4.1-4.8 mm. The larvae feed on Limonium vulgare. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a gallery, starting much contorted, often spirally, but later becoming a full-depth mine with narrow broken frass, running more-or-less straight through the leaf. The exit hole is located on the leaf upperside. The cocoon is white and usually spun on the underside of the leaf. Nepticulidae is a family of very small moths with a worldwide distribution. They are characterised by eyecaps over the eyes (see also Opostegidae, Bucculatricidae, Lyonetiidae). These pigmy moths or midget moths, as they are commonly known, include the smallest of all living moths, with a wingspan that can be as little as 3 mm. in the case of the European Pigmy Sorrel Moth, but more usually 3.5–10 mm. The wings of adult moths are narrow and lanceolate, sometimes with metallic markings, and with the venation very simplified compared to most other moths.
