Fenusella hortulana (Klug, 1818) [Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae] Tenthredo hortulana Klug, 1818 Fenusella soenderupi Hering, 1935 Messa hortulana (Klug, 1818) Fenusella hortulana (Klug, 1818)

Leaf mine: Forms a blotch mine on the leaf edge. Care must be taken in identifying this miner as the mines of Fenusella glaucopis can appear similar (British leafminers). Larva: Identification is on larval charcteristics, in particular the sclerotization of the anal ring (British leafminers). The larva is also illustrated in Nederlandse bladmineerders. Pupa: Details unknown. Hosts in Britain: Salicaceae       Populus alba White Poplar Plant, in Pitkin & Plant, 2005, as Messa hortulana Populus alba White Poplar British leafminers Populus nigra Black-poplar British leafminers Populus nigra Black-poplar Plant, in Pitkin & Plant, 2005, as Messa hortulana Hosts elsewhere: Salicaceae       Populus nigra Black-poplar Nederlandse bladmineerders Time of year - mines: May (British leafminers). Time of year - adults: Unknown. Distribution in Britain: British Is. (van Achterberg in Fauna Europaea). Also recorded in the Republic of Ireland (van Achterberg in Fauna Europaea).
