. The Australian zoologist. Zoology; Zoology; Zoology. MOORE Acrocercops calicella (Stainton). Mine type: Digitate-blotch (Figure 1). Host: Eucalyptus acmenioides Schau. 305 Locality: Lisarow, Notes: Oviposition usually occurs on the upper leaf surface and the early stage of the mine is constructed in the epidermal cells beneath the upper cuticle. Larvae are similar in shape and habits to those of A. hoplocala. The early instar larvae are sap-feeding and later instar larvae deepen the mine as most of the palisade and spongy parenchyma are destroyed. The mines are usually narrower and longer than those of A. hoplocala, and with the perimeter sinuate or digitate. Larvae emerge from the mines to pupate either on their outer surfaces or along the leaf edge, when reared in jars. The cuticle of the mine is at first silvery white, but later becomes more darkly stained with brown than the mine of A. hoplocala. Granular excreta are distributed along the perimeter of the mine. The cocoons, golden in colour, are spun in positions similar to those of A. hoplocala when held in jars. No globules have been found on or in the cocoons of this Figure 1.
