Parectopa geraniella

Wikipedia Abstract

Parectopa geraniella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the United States (Ohio, Kentucky and Missouri). It was described by A.F. Braun in 1935. The hostplant for the species is Geranium maculatum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a linear mine, much contorted in the later stages and becoming blotch-like through the confluence of the convolutions.
