Moved from Antispila freemani.
Given that the published range of A. freemani is Nova Scotia to southern Ontario, images from as far south as Tennessee should be supported by dissection and/or DNA. There are several undescribed Antispila species, as well as other described ones that look similar. For instance, here's one I reared from grape that looks pretty similar to me:

A. freemani mines in bunchberry and certain other Cornus species (dogwoods).
