Bucculatrix benacicolella Hartig, 1937
mine
The larvae slit the leaf at the margin, and from there make elongated fleck mines, that are recognisable as a light seam along the leaf. It is not known if this stage is preceded by one in which the larva lives in a corridor.
hostplants
Asteraceae, narrowly monophagous
Artemisia alba.
Hartig (1939a) mentions A. campestris, possibly in error.
phenology
Larvae found in June, but probably there are more generations (Hering, 1957a).
distribution within Europe
Italy, Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
