Hodgesiella rebeli is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, North Macedonia, Albania and Greece. [1]

The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is black with three white lines. The hindwings are whitish grey. [2]

The larvae feed on Convolvulus althaeoides , Convolvulus althaeoides tenuissimus and Convolvulus cantabrica . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a narrow gallery where all the frass is concentrated. This narrow area quickly widens into a large blotch. The larvae create silk, which they deposit in the mine, causing some length folds to develop. [3] The larvae can be found in May.

The superfamily Ichneumonoidea contains one extinct and three extant families, including the two largest families within Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae and Braconidae. The group is thought to contain as many as 100,000 species, many of which have not yet been described. Like other parasitoid wasps, they were long placed in the "Parasitica", variously considered as an infraorder or an unranked clade, now known to be paraphyletic.

<i>Convolvulus</i> Genus of flowering plants

Convolvulus is a genus of about 200 to 250 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Common names include bindweed and morning glory; both are names shared with other closely related genera.

The Cosmopterigidae are a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. These are small moths with narrow wings whose tiny larvae feed internally on the leaves, seeds and stems of their host plants. About 1500 species are described. The taxonomic family is most diverse in the Australian and Pacific region with about 780 species.

<i>Phengaris rebeli</i> Species of butterfly

Phengaris rebeli, common name mountain Alcon blue, is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was first found and described in Styria, Austria, on Mount Hochschwab around 1700. Although it was initially classified as a subspecies of P. alcon, a European researcher, Lucien A. Berger, designated it as a separate species in 1946. Genetic similarities between P. rebeli and P. alcon have led many researchers to argue that the two are the same species and differences are due to intraspecific variation.

<i>Convolvulus althaeoides</i> Species of bindweed

Convolvulus althaeoides is a species of morning glory known by the common names mallow bindweed and mallow-leaved bindweed. This flowering plant is native to the Mediterranean Basin, but it is occasionally seen in other areas of similar climate, such as California in the United States, where it has been introduced. This is a climbing perennial plant with solitary flowers on long peduncles. The flower is a funnel-shaped pink bloom three or four centimeters wide. The leaves are deeply divided into narrow, fingerlike lobes.
