Parna apicalis (BRISCHKE, 1888)
Malleny Woods and Colinton Dell; several leaf-mines on Common Lime ( T. x vulgaris Heyne), 19.vi.2010, leg. Liston. Most vacated, but 2 still with larvae .
Parna apicalis was first recorded as a British species by Edmunds et al. (2007), but perhaps was previously overlooked, rather than being a very recently introduced species. Both Dr M. R. Shaw (pers. comm.) and Liston probably observed the characteristic leaf-mines in the Edinburgh area as early as the 1980’s, but at the time attributed these to Parna tenella (Klug, 1816) .
