Marmara fulgidella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the United States (including Pennsylvania).[1]
The larvae feed on Castanea and Quercus species, including Quercus prinus. They mine trunks and branches of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long winding gallery just under the epidermis of young trunks and branches.
