Coptodisca lucifluella is a moth of the family Heliozelidae. It was described by Clemens in 1860.[1] It is found in North America, including Kentucky and Ohio.[2]
The larvae feed on Carya illinoinensis. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[3] The mine has the form of an oval blotch. Full-grown larvae chew the upper and lower leaf epidermis around the edges of the mine before pupating inside it.[4]
