Phyllonorycter graecus

Wikipedia Abstract

Phyllonorycter graecus is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the Peloponnisos in Greece. There are at least two, but possibly multiple generations per year. The larvae feed on Quercus macrolepis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a large, strongly contracted, lower-surface, tentiform mine. Pupation takes place in de mine in a flimsy cocoon.
