Cameraria guttifinitella

Description

Cameraria guttifinitella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Canada (Manitoba, Québec) and the United States (including Texas, California, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Vermont, Connecticut and Illinois). The wingspan is about 7 mm. The larvae feed on Rhus toxicodendron, Rhus toxicodendron, Toxicodendron pubescens and Toxicodendron radicans. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a flat, whitish blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. Often, two or more mines occur on a single leaf, so that, by the completion of larval development, almost the entire surface of the leaf is mined.
