Glaucolepis globulariae

Synonyms: Trifurcula globulariae

Wikipedia Abstract

Trifurcula globulariae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. First described by Klimesch in 1975, it is only known from Macedonia. The larvae feed on Globularia meridionalis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow, straight corridor, entirely filled with frass. Later, the corridor widens strongly. Here the frass lies in a heavy, irregular, often interrupted black line.
