Dyseriocrania Eriocrania Eriocraniella Issikiocrania Neocrania †Eriocranites Kernbach, 1967 Eriocraniidae is a family of moths restricted to the Holarctic region, with six extant genera.
[2][3] These small, metallic moths are usually day-flying, emerging fairly early in the northern temperate spring.
The larvae are leaf miners on Fagales, principally the trees birch (Betula) and oak (Quercus), but a few on Salicales and Rosales.
[4] Moths in this family are diurnal, flying in the spring at dawn, and in sunshine, sometimes in swarms around host trees.
[5][6] Eriocrania means woolly-headed, from the Greek, erion – wool and kranion – upper part of the head.
