These small, metallic moths are usually day-flying, emerging fairly early in the northern temperate Spring. They have a [[proboscis]] with which they drink water or sap. The larvae are leaf-miners[http://www.leafmines.co.uk/html/eriocraniidae.htm] on [[Fagales]], principally the trees birch [[Betula]] and oak [[Quercus]] but a few on [[Salicales]] and [[Rosales]] (Kristensen, 1999). Note: there also exists a [[brachiopod]] genus ''[[Brachiopoda|Neocrania]]'' Lee & Brunton, 1986 but this has been renamed ''Novocrania'' Lee & Brunton, 2001 [http://www.taxonomy.nl/Main/Classification/151096.htm] ==References== *Davis, D.R.
