The larvae feed on the leaves of Quercus mongolica, Quercus serrata, Quercus dentata and Quercus acutissima. They create a blackish pistol-shaped case of 6–8 mm long. It is covered with light yellowish-brown felt. They feed on the upper surface of the leaves of their host plant, without making mines.
