N.B. The mines of all these species tend to overlap
in structure, so it is only safe to record them when the characters
match precisely the descriptions given above. Stigmella spinosissimae
is rare and will only be found on Rosa pimpinellifolia, but the
other two species also feed on the same foodplant. |
