Marmara apocynella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Ohio and Maine in the United States. [1]
The larvae feed on Apocynum cannabinum . They mine the stem of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long whitish serpentine mine on the stem.
A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths (Lepidoptera), sawflies, and flies (Diptera). Some beetles also exhibit this behavior.
Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella.
