Leucanthiza dircella

Leucanthiza dircella is a species of moth in the family Gracillariidae.

It is known from Canada (Québec and Ontario), and the United States (including California, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Vermont and Maine).

[1][2][3] A study in northern Michigan determined this species to complete one generation per year.

[4] The larvae feed by mining the leaves of Dirca palustris.

[5] Multiple species of wasp are known to parasitize Leucanthiza dircella, including members of the genera Pholetesor, Chrysocharis, Closterocerus, Pnigalio, and Sympiesis.
