Ectoedemia hannoverella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae found in Asia and Europe. The larva mines the leaves of poplars causing a small gall in the petiole.
The wingspan is 6–7 mm. [2] The moth is easily confused with Ectoedemia turbidella , both species having a white discal spot in the basal part of the forewing and many scattered white scales on a dark ground. The genitalia differ. They are on wing from April to May in western Europe.
The larvae feed on Italian poplar (Populus x canadensis) and black poplar ( Populus nigra ). They mine the leaves of their host plant, only feeding at night. [3] Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [2] [4]
It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland) to southern Siberia, but is most common in central Europe. [1] It was not recorded in Great Britain until 2002 when mines were found in the fallen leaves of Italian poplar. [2]
