Basic Information

Phyllonorycter blancardella

Brown Apple Midget, spotted tentiform leafminer

Phyllonorycter blancardella, the spotted tentiform leafminer, is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from all of Europe, east to Ukraine and central Anatolia. It is also known throughout North America including Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Wisconsin and California. The wingspan is 6 C9 mm. The forewing ground colour is variable but not grey. It is sometimes orange or tawny and often with a dusty sprinkling of blackish scales. White streaks sometimes join together to form larger markings (fascia and spots). P. blancardella is very similar to Phyllonorycter hostis and other Rosaceae-feeding Phyllonorycter species and only determined by examination of genitalia preparations.See Lewis British Lepidoptera for an overview of the difficulties surrounding correct identification. Adults emerge in May and again in August in two generations in western Europe. The larvae feed on Malus angustifolia, Malus x astracanica, Malus baccata, Malus coronaria, Malus domestica, Malus floribunda, Malus fusca, Malus ringo, Malus x robusta and Malus sylvestris. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
