Zimmermannia atrifrontella

(Stainton, 1851)41 / 4.079
=Ectoedemia atrifrontella

General comments:
On deciduous oak Quercus - mining under the bark of saplings. Local and uncommon, though probably under-recorded. The mapped records relate to adult moths. The larval mines cannot be distinguished from those of E. longicaudella Klimesch, 1953 - not yet recorded in our area, though equally likely to be overlooked.

Determination by Genitalia Examination Required

Mine: Moth needs to be reared and, in some cases, possibly dissected.

Recorded in 4 (10%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 2006.
Last Recorded in 2020.
