Phyllonorycter emberizaepenella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found in all of Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula.
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. There are two generations per year with adults on wing in May and again in August.[2]
The larvae feed on Lonicera alpigena, Lonicera x bella, Lonicera caerulea, Lonicera deflexicalyx, Lonicera flava, Lonicera gracilipes, Lonicera ledebourii, Lonicera macki, Lonicera morrowii, Lonicera nigra, Lonicera orientalis, Lonicera periclymenum, Lonicera prostrata, Lonicera rupicola, Lonicera tatarica, Lonicera webbiana, Lonicera xylosteum and Symphoricarpos albus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface, white, inflated tentiform mine, that may occupy the entire leaf. The mine causes the leaf to roll lengthwise. The pupa is made in a papery cocoon.[3]
