Stigmella paradoxa mine

The wingspan is 4–5 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July.

The larvae feed on Crataegus laevigata, Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus pentagyna. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The damage consists of blotch in the tip of a leaf segment, without any preceding corridor.
