Laburnum Leaf-miner

(Stainton, 1851)254 / 21.004

Norfolk status
Local.
Predominantly an urban species, occurring where Laburnum is plentiful.

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: Larvae mine the leaves of Laburnum, June, July; September.

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required

Recorded in 32 (43%) of 74 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1874.
