underside; the contracted leaf forms a cavity that is covered by such a dense spinning that it gives the impression of a tentiform mine.
mine
Very short, full-depth corridor, without frass, along the midrib. The corridor continues in a tube of silk, covered with frass; the larva then causes window feeding. Eventually the larve cuts a thick vein, which causes the leaf to form a funnel, in which the larva lives.
host plants
Adoxaceae, monophagous
Viburnum lantana, opulus. tinus.
To his astonishment Klimesch bred this species from larvae that lived among spun flowers of Spartium junceum.
