Roeslerstammia pronubella is a species of moth belonging to the family Roeslerstammiidae, described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.[2] The species can be found throughout Europe and Russia as far east as Japan, where it is reported from Honshu and Kyushu.[1][3]
Biology
Larval hostplants of R. pronubella comprise Fagus crenata and Carpinus laxiflora in Japan, and Carpinus betulus and species of Tilia in Europe.[1][4] The first larval instar is a leaf miner in the leaf tip, while from the second instar on, feeding takes place outside on the leaf edge. Pupation takes place in a white ellipsoidal cocoon in the gallery of a turned-down leaf margin. The adult moths fly from April to August.[1]
