ADENOSTYLES. [Asteraceae]

Adenostyles is not recorded in the wild in Britain. No Diptera miners are recorded on Adenostyles in Britain. Elsewhere the agromyzids Chromatomyia 'atricornis' and Phytomyza tussilaginis and the tephritids Stemonocera cornuta and Trypeta zoe are recorded mining Adenostyles. No non-Diptera miners are recorded on Adenostyles in Britain. Elsewhere one British non-Diptera miner, Cnephasia incertana, is recorded on Adenostyles (see below). A key to European mines on Adenostyles is provided in Bladmineerders van Europa. This includes Cnephasia sedana, Cnephasia incertana, Stemonocera cornuta, Trypeta zoe, Chromatomyia 'atricornis', Phytomyza farfarae, Phytomyza tussilaginis and Phytomyza adenostylis.

British non-Diptera miners recorded on Adenostyles elsewhere Cnephasia incertana (Treitschke, 1835) [Lepidoptera: Tortricidae]   Leaf-mine: In the first instar the larva mines the leaves, forming short, irregular, blotch-like mines, but in later instars it lives externally, feeding in spun leaves and often twisting those of tender shoots (Bradley et al., 1973). Small, full depth mine without a definite shape; little frass. Some silk is deposited in the mine. The larva soon leaves the mine and continues feeding among spun leaves (Bladmineerders van Europa).
