Glyphipterix umbilici is a moth of the family Glyphipterigidae. It is found on the Canary Islands and Sardinia and in Portugal[1] and Lebanon.[2]
The larvae feed on Umbilicus rupestris. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a branching corridor with a central line of green frass. Later, it becomes a full depth blotch. A larva may vacate the mine and start mining elsewhere. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[3] The larvae are yellowish white with a brown head. They can be found in February and April.
