Elachista fasciocaliginosa Sugisima, 2005 | |
Elachista fasciocaliginosa is a moth in the Elachistidae family. It was described by Sugisima in 2005.[1] It is found in Japan[2] (Honshu).
The length of the forewings is about 2.8 mm for males and 2.9-3.1 mm for females. The forewings are black-brownish with two white- silvery fascia. There are probably multiple generations per year.
The larvae feed on Miscanthus sinensis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a purplish linear gallery and later becomes greenish and elongate blotch-like. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[3]
