Overview

Trifurcula eurema is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is widespread throughout Europe, northwards to southern Norway and Sweden, Poland and the Baltic Region. It is also found in the Mediterranean region, including the larger Mediterranean islands, east to Bulgaria, Asiatic Turkey and Ukraine.

Trifurcula eurema, a leaf-mining moth species, faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its host plant communities. The species' highly specialized feeding requirements and limited geographic range make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.
