Abstract
A larva of Scythropiodes leucostola (Meyrick) (Lecithoceridae, Lepidoptera) was observed to bore into and feed on a bud gall formed by Biorhiza nawai (Ashmead) (Cynipidae, Hymenoptera). Although cecidophagous moths have been recorded from ten families of Lepidoptera, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a cecidophage from the family Lecithoceridae.
