Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Yponomeutidae Sub Family   Description   a family of 'micro-moths' Background to Family   More than 70, relatively host-specific species, belonging to 7 sub-families. The Scythropiinae and Yponomeutinae ('small ermines') mainly feed within communal webs on broadleaved trees and shrubs, where some are defoliators. Other species occur on pines (Pinus) or herbaceous plants. The two members of the Praydinae mine leaves or bark on birch (Betula) or ash (Fraxinus excelsior). Most of the Argyresthiinae feed internally in the shoots, flower-heads or fruit of broadleaved and coniferous trees and shrubs (especially Juniperus). Larvae of the Ypsolophinae and Plutellinae occur singly, in frail retreats, on, respectively, broadleaved trees and shrubs and Cruciferae. The Acrolepiinae mainly feed as leaf-miners on Asteraceae, Liliaceae, or Solanaceae.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   77 No. interactions   234 % interactions with British data   73% No. records   443 % taxa with British data   97% © Ian Kimber Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
