Description

Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) andalusiae Van Nieukerken

Figs 37, 38, 50, 57, 61

Diagnosis. Male Ectoedemia andalusiae is separated from the very similar E. suberis by the ochreous hairpencil, from E. hendrikseni by the field of white scales that does not reach the dorsal margin of the hindwing (Figs 37, 38). Male genitalia most similar to suberis, but capsule shorter and with blunt and wide tegumen (Fig. 50). Female genitalia resemble those of E. heckfordi and E. phaeolepis, but have more convolutions in the ductus spermathecae (6 against 4.5–5.5) (Figs 57, 61).

Biology. Hostplants: only reared from Quercus coccifera L. (Van Nieukerken 1985; Van Nieukerken et al. 2004). Mine not separable from that of E. suberis or phaeolepis. Possibly bivoltine, with larvae from January to March and in June, and adults flying from April to July and September-October. From larvae collected in the middle of June in Algarve we reared adults in following days (end of June, beginning July), so that more than two generations are possible in Portugal. Th e second generation may fly together with E. suberis.

Distribution. Southwestern Europe. France: Van Nieukerken 2006; Portugal: Corley et al. 2000.
