Russia : PK , Gornotaezhnoe , forest around MTS, 43.68N , 132.15E , 224 m alt., Acer saccharum , 26.VII.2016 , 1 male (reared from leaf mine), 26.VIII.2016 em ., NK-182-16 - 1 A / [20Pps-2016-male] ( Fig. 7D ), deposited in SIF. Leaf mine. Blotch mine on the lower side of the leaf, between two secondary veins, at the later stage gets contracted. Pupation in the mine. Trophic specialization. Host plant was not known ( Noreika 1994 ). We found mines solely on the plant species originating from North America, Acer saccharum (Sapindaceae) ( new record ). Distribution.
