Phyllonorycter lantanella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in all of Europe, except Scandinavia, Ireland and the Balkan Peninsula.
The wingspan is about 9 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in May and again in August.[2]
The larvae feed on the wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana), guelder rose (Viburnum opulus), laurestine (Viburnum tinus) and rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), mining the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface tentiform mine between two side veins. Pupation takes place within the mine without a recognisable cocoon.[3]
