* Dasineura bistortae (Kieffer, 1909) View in CoL

Material: ON, Lom: Utløpet Bøvertunvatn, 61.64515°N 8.09764°E ± 50m, 17 July 2019, on Bistorta vivipara , 1L, leg. AF, BOLD GoogleMaps : NHMO- ENT-548153, coll. NHMO.

Biology and notes: The white to yellowish red larvae develop in downward leaf rolls on Bistorta officinalis and B. vivipara ( Polygonaceae ). We found a single reddish larva in a leaf roll on B. vivipara . The larva was dead and somewhat damaged when found, probably due to a parasitoid, and it was not so easy to study. The DNA barcode placed it among Dasineura , however, supporting the identification.

Distribution: Widespread in Europe, but in Fennoscandia known only from Norway. Kazakhstan.
