0574
Explanation of Names
Author: Braun, 1963
Range
Ontario; mines probably made by this species have been observed in Kentucky (1)
Food
Ceanothus americanus
Remarks
The type series was reared from white cocoons with six distinct ridges (sometimes two additional, indistinct ridges). In the mines found in Kentucky, the egg was deposited on the upper side of the leaf; all parenchyma was consumed toward the end of the very fine linear mine.
