''Caloptilia magnifica'' is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the southern Alps and former Yugoslavia. The wingspan is 10.5–11 mm. The larvae of ssp. ''magnifica'' feed on ''Epimedium alpinum'', while ssp. ''moriokensis'' feed on ''Epimedium grandiflorum var. thunbergianum''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a long, lower-surface, strongly branching, epidermal, corridor. Later, deeper layers of tissue are eaten and the mine develops into a tentiform mine with dispersed frass. Older larvae leave the mine and make a marginal roll on another leaf, almost always folded downwards. This leaf is eaten out from the inside. Pupation takes place in a yellowish white cocoon that is made at the margin usually of the same leaf.〔(bladmineerders.nl )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Caloptilia magnifica magnifica'' (Europe) *''Caloptilia magnifica moriokensis'' Kumata, 1982 (Japan (Honshū)) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caloptilia magnifica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
