Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) phyllotomella (Klimesch) View in CoL

Biology. Hostplant: Quercus cerris L.. Larvae in October-November, adults in April-May.

Distribution. Still only known from Italy, where it can be found in large numbers as recorded here.

Remarks. The status of this species is not yet settled: adults are inseparable from E. heringi and liechtensteini , but the larval habit (cutting out a case) is striking and unique for Nepticulidae . Molecular studies are currently in progress.

Material. Italy: 19♁, 22♀, Firenze, San Benedetto in Alpe, 24.X.1999, larvae on Quercus cerris , e.l. IV.2000, A. Laštůvka (AL).
