Cameraria pongamiae

Wikipedia Abstract

Cameraria pongamiae is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Malaysia (Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Sabah), the Philippines (Luzon, Palawan) and Taiwan. The wingspan is 3.8-4.8 mm. The larvae feed on Pongamia pinnata. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of an oval or elliptical blotch mine occurring upon the upper side of the leaf, usually on the leaf vein. It is flat and somewhat transparent through the upper epidermis at a young stage, then discoloured into white and deformed into a tentiform type with a finely shrunk upper epidermis at maturity. Pupation takes place inside the mine-cavity without a particular cocoon. More than ten mines may be found on a single leaflet.
