Antispila petryi

Martini, 1899159a / 6.002

General notes:
Larva on Dogwood Cornus sanguinea. Mines on Cornelian Cherry Cornus mas are not made by this species - they are caused by Antispila treitschkiella. For this reason, published reports that do not specify the foodplant have been ignored during the preparation of the distribution maps. The larva cuts a smaller oval than that of Antispila metallella, measuring 4.0 - 5.0 millimetres lengthways, so enabling reliable separation. The adult flies later than metallella. This seems to be the most frequently encountered of the three Antispila species in our two counties.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.
