Phyllonorycter mespilella (Hübner, 1805)		unknown		Not stated. No type material is known (Triberti 2007: 176, 178)	Germany	[Germany], Württemberg, Marbach-N., e.p. Cydonia vulgaris, iv.1969, leg. L. Süssner.

Distribution note:

Recorded from Denmark (Larsen 1916: 220, Krogerus et al. 1971: 24) and Norway (Grønlien 1937: 29), and from Finland (Tengström 1869: 353). The records from Belarus and Ukraine (Kuznetzov 1981) need confirmation (Triberti 2007: 177).

Plant note:

Blotch mine on underside of leaf, long and narrow, with many longitudinal folds on lower epidermis. The record of Populus alba L. (Salicaceae) (Draghia 1972: 223) is probably erroneous.
