Differential diagnosis
We cannotseparate Antispila ampelopsifoliella (Fig. 35) from Antispila oinophylla based on external characters: it may average a bit smaller, but our samples are too few in number to make statistical comparisons. In the male genitalia (Figs 42–43), uncus not bilobed; valva with pecten with ca. 11–13 comb spines, base of valva with rounded lobe, not triangular; juxta rather wide, with lateral groups of spines; phallus with much shorter terminal spines and a comb of rather short triangular spines near phallotrema. Female genitalia (Fig. 53): ovipositor only with 3 cusps at either side. Vestibulum with some spines.
Biology
Hostplant: Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
Leafmines
(Fig. 56). Egg usually inserted in leaf under- or upperside close to a vein, mine starting with a relatively long contorted gallery with thin broken frass, or when it runs along margin in a straighter course, later abruptly enlarged into elongate blotch or wide gallery; frass dispersed in middle. The early narrow gallery may be as long as the elongate blotch. The mine can be found in any part of the leaf. Larva yellowish white, black head, cut-out ca 3.5–4 mm long. The mine resembles that of Antispila hydrangaeella. It was most frequently found in the larger and thinner ground leaves of Virginia creeper.
Distribution
Eastern North America, confirmed from USA: Connecticut, Kentucky, New York, Vermont and Canada: Ontario.
