Topic: Phyllocnistis citrella

Hello

Please could the moth Phyllocnistis citrella be added to the dictionary? It has been found several times as old mines on supermarket clementine leaves, but also as a tennanted mine on a living lemon tree in a garden centre. It is on the british moth list, you can read more detail on Norfolk Moths (I can't link sorry)

Order:     Lepidoptera
Infraorder:     Heteroneura
Family:     Gracillariidae
Genus:     Phyllocnistis
Species:     P. citrella
Binomial name
Phyllocnistis citrella
Stainton, 1856

Let me know if you need further info :)
