Alucita palodactyla Zeller, 1847

on Lomelosia

gall

uncertain. Buhr suggests a gall similar to the one of A. grammodactyla, but Huertas Dionisio describes a larva inside a flower head. Actually he thereby mentions grammodactyla, but the host plant makes it clear that palodactyla is intended.

hostplants

Caprifoliaceae, monophagous

Lomelosia rutifolia.
