''Stigmella hoheriae'' is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in New Zealand. The length of the forewings is 3–4 mm. Adults have been recorded in February and from July to December. Reared adults emerged in October. There are probably two generations per year. The larvae feed on ''Hoheria'' species such as ''Hoheria glabrata'', ''Hoheria populnea'', ''Hoheria sexstylosa'' and ''Hoheria angustifolia''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of blotches, mainly on the lower leaves. The mine is narrow and crosses over itself several times, but rarely passes larger leaf ribs. The frass is deposited in a straight, granular line medially in the mine. Larva have been recorded from Februaryto August and are 2–3 mm long and pale transparent green. The cocoon is spun fτom dark brown silk (from larvae found on ''Hoheria lyalli'' and ''H. glabrata'') οr pale whitish silk (larvae on other ''Hoheria'' species). It is located amongst the debris at the base of the foodplant. ==External links== *(Fauna of New Zealand - Number 16: Nepticulidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) ) 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「Stigmella hoheriae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
