Macrosaccus morrisella (hog peanut moth) is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. [2] [3] In North America it is known from Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, south and west to Texas and Colorado. [4] [5]

Contents

The wingspan is 6–7 mm.

The larvae feed on Amphicarpaea bracteata , Strophostyles leiosperma , and soybean (Glycine max). [6] [5] They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track on the underside of the leaflet. This enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch which eventually becomes strongly tentiform. [5]
