A NEW SPECIES OF PHYLLONORYCTER HBN. (= LITHOCOLLETIS HBN.) (LEPIDOPTERA: GRACILARIIDAE) FROM WESTERN NORTH AMERICA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Phyllonorycter elmaella n sp. is described from specimens reared from ptychonomous mines on the lower surface of apple leaves from the vicinity of Vancouver, B.C. The species is compared with European P. sorbi (Frey) and the Japanese P. sorbicola (Kumata) n. comb., to which it is more closely similar than to species attacking apple and related trees in Eastern North America. The species has three generations a year and overwinters in the pupal stage.
