Ectoedemia quinquella

(Bedell, 1848)36 / 4.087

Phil Sterling, 2008: A very local species, with records from southern and south-eastern counties only. The larva mines the leaf of oak (Quercus spp.). Only recorded from the eastern half of Dorset. No special conservation measures appear to be necessary to maintain the presence of this species in the county.

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required
