Antispila viticordifoliella Clemens
Antispila viticordifoliella
Clemens, 1860: 209. Syntype mines, larva [USA: Pennsylvania, Easton], larvae on "wild grapes" [
Vitis vulpina
],
August-September
, Brackenridge Clemens (ANSP if extant).
Antispila viticordifoliella
;
Chambers 1874a
: 168 [first description of adult].
Differential diagnosis.
In the interpretation of this species by
Chambers (1874a)
, as discussed above,
Antispila viticordifoliella
differs from the
Antispila ampelopsifoliella
group in missing the apical spot on the forewing and its long white antennal tip, the latter character is shared with
Antispila hydrangaeella
. We have as yet not seen such specimens originating from
Vitis
.
Biology.
Hostplant:
Vitis vulpina
. Leafmines not described in detail.
Distribution.
USA: Kentucky, Pennsylvania. Many records are unreliable and often refer to the isabella complex.
