VII. 2016, 1 male (reared from leaf mine), NK- 179 - 16 - 1 A / [10 Prin- 2016 - male] (Figs 4 K, 8 B); same location, Malus sp. 24. VII. 2016, 1 female (reared from leaf mine), 70.1 / [3 Prin- 2016 - female], deposited in SIF. Leaf mine. The mine is a white elongated contracted blotch with very short or without preceding epidermal tunnel, along the leaf margin or between the secondary veins (Figs 13 A – B). Epidermis covering mine soon becomes brownish (Fig. 13 B). From the upper side of the leaf, the mine has a marbled appearance (Fig. 13 B). Pupation in the mine. Trophic specialization. Oligophagous on Rosaceae: Malus baccata, M. domestica, M. mandshurica, M. pumila, M. sieboldii, M. toringo, Prunus padus, P. salicina, Pyrus sp. (De Prins & De Prins 2018). Distribution.
