Leucoptera aceris is a moth in the Lyonetiidae family. It is found from Latvia to the Pyrenees, Alps and Bulgaria. It has also been recorded from Portugal.[1]
The larvae feed on Acer campestre, Acer monspessulanum and Acer platanoides. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a small, upper-surface blotch with frass concentrated in a central spot. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[2]
