Antispila nysaefoliella (tupelo leafminer moth) is a species of moth of the family Heliozelidae. It is found in south-eastern North America.
The wingspan is about 8 mm. Adults are on wing in spring.
The larvae feed on Nyssa sylvatica . They mine the leaves of their host plant. [2] Low (2008) observed that the larvae are able to make sounds using sclerotized structures on their dorsum and tail. [2] Larvae can be found from late August to early September.
The Heliozelidae, commonly known as shield-bearer moths, are a family of small, day flying monotrysian moths distributed worldwide. The larvae of most heliozelid species are leaf miners who cut distinctive shield-shaped cases from the surface of the host leaf, hence the common name. Some species are considered pests of commercial crops such as grapevines, cranberries, and walnuts. The taxonomy of this family is poorly understood.
