Incurvariidae
Incurvariidae is a family of small primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera. There are twelve genera recognised (Davis, 1999). Many species are leaf mine A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths (Lepidoptera), sawflies (Symphyta, the mother clade of wa ...rs and much is known of their host plants, excluding '' Paraclemensia acerifoliella''. The most familiar species in Europe are perhaps '' Incurvaria masculella'' and '' Phylloporia bistrigella''. The narrow wings are held tightly along the body at rest and some species have very long antennae. References *Davis, D.R. (1999). The Monotrysian Heteroneura. Ch. 6, pp. 65–90 in Kristensen, N.P.
