(Stainton, 1854)4.035

A common leaf-miner on sallows across a variety of habitats. Currently thought to be part of a complex of up to four species, awaiting further research.

Verification Grade Comment: Egg position required (upper or lower surface of the leaf) and if present, larval colouring.

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required
