| Phytoliriomyza melampyga (Zetterstedt, 1848) (Dip:Agromyzidae) - an Impatiens miner. | |
 |
Phytoliriomyza melampyga is
a dipterous miner found on various Impatiens (Balsam) species - in particular I.
noli-tangere (Touch-me-not Balsam) and I. parviflora (Small Balsam). Colin Plant found mines on another Impatiens species - Policeman's Helmet (Impatiens glandulifera) at Craig-yr-Hudol, Glamorganshire, 26th July 2005. Brian Pitkin has collected this species on Impatiens glandulifera and parviflora at numerous localities in Surrey. The mines are distinctive and there are no other recorded species on Impatiens in Britain. It has a local distribution and is widespread in Europe. Image:© Colin Plant |
| Phyllonorycter quinnata (Geoffrey, 1785) is now Phyllonorycter esperella (Goeze, 1783) | |
|
Some names will be now
changed on this website to bring them in line with the recent changes in
the list of Microlepidoptera since 2000, summarised by Agassiz and Langmaid
(2005) in Entomologist's Rec J.Var. 117, p143-147. Some of these changes affect the leaf mining leidoptera so that Phyllonoryceter quinatta is now Phyllonorycter esperella and Elachista megerlella becomes Elachista obliquella. 593 (Bradley Number) is now comprised of three species: Elachista regificella, Elachista geminatella and Elachista tengstromi. Other changes are detailed in the article. |

| Monitoring the spread of Cameraria ohridella - Horse Chestnut Miner | |
|
Forest Research have
been monitoring the spread of Cameraria ohridella since it was first discovered in
Wimbledon in 2002. They have been collecting and collating records for use
in an invasion dynamics modelling exercise in collaboration with European
biologists. They are also looking at the impact of the infestation on the
affected trees, in the long term as well as immediate. They are keen to include any existing records that they have missed and wondered whether you might have any additional records. Forest Research have an informative website http://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/fr/INFD-68JJRC , which include details of how to submit records. |
