Whoops--I guess I'm still not
Whoops--I guess I'm still not sure how to distinguish those genera from their mines... Sometimes in Leucospilapteryx the early mine trails are clear, but in this case, they were not. I'm not sure if that is a good way to tell...

The mines are pretty much the same,
except Cremastobombycia pupates in the mine and Leucospilapteryx exits to pupate. I'm just assuming the latter in this case because we've reared Leucospilapteryx from Bidens before.
