Locality: Ourimbah State Forest, Notes: Foliage of the attacked shoots becomes brown and distorted, with the death of some shoots occurring distally. From larvae collected and reared during November and December, adults emerged during December and January. The life cycle occupied about 5 weeks. Acrocercops sp. nov. ?

From larvae collected and reared during November and December, adults emerged during December and January. The life cycle occupied about 5 weeks. Acrocercops sp. nov. ? (in laciniella group) Mine type: Blotch. Host: Eucalyptus radiata Sieb. Locality: Kanangra Walls, Notes: Larvae collected during August spun their golden-brown cocoons on the cuticles of the mines when reared in jars, and adults emerged during October. The blotch mine is round to oval, white, and without brown staining, and as many as 3 mines may occur on the one leaf. The linear portion is usually obliterated by the blotch portion which may cross the mid-vein of the leaf. Acrocercops sp. Blotch (Figure 4). Asterolasia correifolia Benth. Ourimbah State Forest, Several somewhat tortuous, silvery linear type mines in the upper epidermis of a leaf sometimes radiate from the one centre of oviposition. All the parenchyma is consumed as the blotch area is completed, so that most, if not all, of the linear portion is obliterated by the blotch portion. The mines always spread each side of the mid vein. Larvae leave the mine through a crescentic shaped slit in the cuticle of the upper leaf surface, to pupate on the leaf or on the cuticle of the mine when reared in jars. Numerous globules may occur on the cocoon, and the pupal exuviae is protruded from the cocoon before the adult emerges. Mine type: Host: Locality: Notes:. Figure 4.
