Local.

One of two species of Leucoptera found in Norfolk that are very similar.
L. spartifoliella has yellow/ochreous scales around the tornal spot, L. laburnella yellow/ochreous scales only towards the costa. This can be hard to determine and genitalia dissection is recommended.

Leaf-mine: A gallery in the bark of the food plant generally mining upwards.

Verification Grade Comment: Photo must include the start of the mine

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required
