Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Ian Kimber Family   Oecophoridae Sub Family   Depressariinae Description   a sub-family of the Oecophoridae Background to Family   Nearly half of the species feed as larvae on umbellifers (Apiaceae), especially those in Depressaria. Agonopteryx show varying degrees of specialisation, mainly on Apiaceae, composites (Asteraceae) and legumes (Fabaceae). Several members of the sub-family feed on various broadleaved trees and shrubs. Overall, some larvae mine leaves, stems or fruits early in development, but most feed externally from spinnings later on.     No. taxa in DBIF   _ No. interactions   _ % interactions with British data   _ No. records   _ % taxa with British data   _ Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
