Phyllonorycter corylifoliella (Hübner, 1796) [Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae] Tinea corylifoliella Hübner, 1796. Samml. Europ. Schmett. Tin. 28: 194. Lithocolletis betulae Zeller, 1839. Isis: 217. Phyllonorycter corylifoliella (Hübner, 1796)

Leaf-mine: The mine is in the upper epidermis of a leaf, usually over midrib or vein. The mine is at first silvery, later with brown speckling (British leafminers). The mine is also illustrated in UKMoths and Nederlandse bladmineerders. Larva: The larva is illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineeders. Pupa: The cremaster is illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineeders.

Time of year - adults: Adults are at large in May and again in August (UKMoths).
