Phyllonorycter foliolosi is a moth of the family Gracillariidae.[1][2] It is endemic to the Canary Islands and is known from La Palma and Tenerife.[2]
Ecology
The larvae feed on Adenocarpus viscosus,[2] Adenocarpus complicatus aureus,[3] Adenocarpus foliolosus, and Teline canariensis.[2][3] They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a strongly contracted, lower-surface tentiform mine. The leaflet is folded lengthwise and completely eaten out. The leaf turns whitish-transparent. Pupation takes place within the mine.[3]
