Did any of the moth larvae pupate?
If they pupated in the mine, it would be safe to say they're Cameraria. If it's not clear where they pupated, Acrocercops might be an option, though Terry Harrison may be able to rule out one or the other from this photo.

All moth larvae were empty husks.
These wasps were not in the same blotch mine as the moth larval husks.
