Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) rubivora (Wocke)

Biology. Hostplants: Rubus species, particularly on R. caesius L., R. saxatilis L., R. chamaemorus L. and R. arcticus L., but also on forms of the fruticosus L. complex . In the Netherlands we found several times vacated mines resembling those of rubivora on Agrimonia eupatoria in areas where E. rubivora is abundant on Rubus . These mines are very different from those of E. agrimoniae , which is not known from the Netherlands. Univoltine, larvae from late August until Octorber, adults in June and July.

Distribution. Norway: Aarvik et al. 2004; Latvia: Savenkov et al. 1996; Lithuania: Diškus 2003.
