Biology: The white, later orange or red larvae develop in leaf galls on a wide range of Salix spp. ( Salicaceae ). Each larva develops in a globular, up to 2 mm wide gall which protrudes equally on both sides of the leaf and has a circular exit on the underside. The galls are usually spread out over the surface of the leaf and for the most part do not coalesce. Univoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Widespread Palearctic, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
