General comments:
Extremely local and confined to the chalk.Unrecorded in Middlesex.

The caterpillar of this species feeds first as a leaf miner and then later on the bark of the roots. Adults fly in sunshine and probably do not come to light traps; the moth is, therefore, likely to be under-recorded. The very similar Pancalia schwarzella (Fabr.) is not yet recorded in our two counties and could be confused with leuwenhoekella.
