Prochoreutis myllerana (Fabricius. 1794)
small metal-mark

Scutellaria galericulata, Belgium, LG, Liège, Canal de l’Ourthe; © Jean-Yves Baugnée; mined leaf

top leaves, spun together and eaten out.
mine
Full depth, untidy, blotch, mainly in the lower leaves. Older larvae live free among spun leaves. In many cases probably mining is not the case, rather a complex of window feeding.
host plants
Lamiaceae, monophagous
Scutellaria galericulata, minor.
Records from Lamium album, purpureum need further confirmation.
phenology
Full grown [i.e., free-living] larvae in June, and July – August(Pelham-Clinton, 1985b). Hibernation probably as adult (Huisman & Koster, 1999a).
BENELUX
BE recorded (Phegea, 2009).
NE recorded(Kuchlein & de Vos, 1999a; Microlepidoptera.nl, 2009).
LUX recorded (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
distribution within Europe
Probably all Europe (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
larva
notes
The mines cannot be distinguished from those of Prochoreutis sehedestediana, but seemingly the larvae can.
