Not a known host
I suspect it is P. vitifoliella. In the next few weeks I'll be sending material of Vitaceae-feeding Phyllocnistis off for DNA barcoding, and I'd love to include this one (any additional material from this host, including mines with dead larvae, would be great to have).

I'll see what I can do--I may
I'll see what I can do--I may not get back to this site for a while. I will try. Meanwhile, is there is a chance of getting DNA from material shown here? If so, you'd be welcome to it. Let me know.

Yes
I think there's a good chance there are pupae or dead larvae in these mines, which could be used for barcoding.
