Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Lyonetiidae Sub Family   Description   a family of 'micro-moths' Background to Family   Eleven resident species, mining leaves or the bark of twigs. Most Cemiostominae occur in the genus Leucoptera and are monophagous on leguminous herbs, shrubs and trees (Fabaceae). Lyonetia (Lyonetiinae) feed on a range of rosaceous trees, and Bedellia somnulentella (Bedelliinae) specialises on bindweeds (Convolvulaceae); it alone changes leaves during development.     © Ian Kimber No. taxa in DBIF   12 No. interactions   57 % interactions with British data   92% No. records   81 % taxa with British data   100% Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
