About Phyllocnistis liquidambarisella Chambers, 1875
Phyllocnistis liquidambarisella is a moth species that belongs to the family Gracillariidae. This species is known to occur in the United States, where it has been recorded across the states of New York, Maryland, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Its only documented host plant is Liquidambar styraciflua. Larvae of this moth feed by mining inside the leaves of their host plant. The leaf mine produced by this species takes the form of a long, winding linear mine located on the upper surface of the leaf. This mine is rather difficult to see and does not have a central line of accumulated frass.
