Brown, John W. Hoddle, Mark S. Zootaxa 2011 3137 31 45 8V5DV [151,270,292,318] Insecta Gracillariidae Caloptilia Animalia Lepidoptera 10 41 Arthropoda genus    Marmara gulosaGuillén and Davis, the citrus peelminer, has been reported as a pest of avocado in California ( Waite and Barrera 2002; as  M. salictellaClemens). Larvae cause damage by mining the surface of fruit, causing significant scarring, and they may also mine shoots and leaves ( Guillén et al.2001, Waite and Barrera 2002).  Caloptilia perseae(Busck)is considered a pest of avocado in México, where larvae mine leaves but rarely cause significant damage ( Wysoki et al.2002). Davis and Wagner (2011)described several new species of  Phyllocnistisfrom Central Americaand the southeastern U.S.that mine leaves of avocado; none of these species are recorded from California.
