Leucoptera coronillae is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in southern France, Spain, Sardinia and mainland Italy.[1]
The larvae feed on Cytisus sessilifolius and Cytisus villosus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a violet spot somewhere in the centre of the leaf. Around this point a blotch mine develops with much frass in concentric arcs. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]
