case<\/h3>\n

The egg is deposited at the underside of the leaf, usually in a vein axil in the basal half of the leaf. The larva emerges through the micropyle (on top), and first crawls some distance over the leaf, before penetrating. The strongly curved youth case is is a \u201ccomposite leaf case\u201d, the adult case is a \u201ctubular leaf case\u201d. The adult case s trivalved, about 7 mm in length; the mouth angle is around 30\u00b0. The case is straw coloured and almost always has a toothed dorsal keel (remnant of the margin of the leaf from which the case was cut).<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

host plants<\/h3>\n

Rather polyphagous on woody plants<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alnus<\/a> glutinosa, incana, viridis; Amelanchier<\/a> ovalis; Betula<\/a> nana, pendula, pubescens; Carpinus<\/a> betulus; Chaenomeles<\/a>; Corylus<\/a> avellana; Cotoneaster<\/a>; Crataegus<\/a> monogyna; Cydonia<\/a>; Eriobotrya<\/a> japonica; Forsythia<\/a>; Hippophae<\/a>; Malus<\/a> domestica, sylvestris; Mespilus<\/a> germanica Myrica<\/a> gale; Ostrya<\/a>; Populus<\/a>; Prunus<\/a>; Quercus<\/a> pubescens; Ribes<\/a>; Salix<\/a> caprea; Sorbus<\/a> aria, aucuparia; Spiraea<\/a> bumalda, x vanhouttei; Ulmus<\/a> glabra, minor.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Despite all polyphagy, the species is, at least in the Netherlands, by far most common on Alder and Birch. References to Rosaceae often actually refer to coracipennella<\/em> (see below).<\/p>\n

The larvae easily stray to other plants; this explains the reference by Buhr (1936a) of serratela<\/em> as an occasional miner on Ribes<\/em><\/a>; also the reference by Sz\u0151cs (1977a) to Geranium<\/a><\/em> must thus be explained.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

phenology<\/h3>\n

Larvae start feeding in September and continue to the end of October. They hibernate in their case, and resume feeding in April. After some weeks they exchange their youth case for the definite one, and continue till early June (Emmet ao, 1996a).<\/p>\n

This time table is not without exceptions: the picture above of the young youth case by Jean-Yves Baugn\u00e9e was on April 24th, 2011.<\/p>\n

synonyms<\/h3>\n

Coleophora fuscedinella<\/em> Zeller, 1849.<\/p>\n

Where in older publications the names fuscedinella<\/em> and serratella<\/em> are both used, \u201cserratella<\/em>\u201d can probably best be interpreted as coracipennella<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

notes<\/h3>\n

It is impossible to distinguish the larvae or cases of C. coracipennella<\/a>, prunifoliae<\/a>, serratella<\/em>, and spinella<\/a><\/em>; only breeding, and to some extent the host plant, can lead to an identification. Coleophora nigricella<\/em> (Stephens, 1834) formally is a synonym of C. coracipennella<\/em>, but mostly the name is used, inadvertently, as a collective term for these four species.<\/p>\n

Coleophorid larvae are quite active, and on their way to a suitable pupation site can easily stray onto a plant where they would never feed. Such tramps easily occasion erroneous host plant associations. Because the four \u201cnigricella<\/em>‘s\u201d together are quite numerous, the number of such incidental and erroneous references to host plants in this group is considerable.<\/p>\n

Kemner (1917a) described a mass occurrence in Sweden, that continued for several years and locally caused 50-90% defoliation of the birches.<\/p>\n

Sich (1904a) and Coshan (1974a) presented a beautiful description of the biology and morphology of the larvae.<\/p>\n
