Ectoedemia amani is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in southern Norway, southern Sweden, Denmark (Bornholm and Falster), Austria (Vienna region), and Macedonia.
Male genitalia
The wingspan is 7.8-9.8 mm. Adults have been caught in June and July.
The larvae feed on Ulmus species. Unlike most other Nepticulidae species, the larvae mine the bark of their host, rather than the leaves. The mine consists of a long contorted gallery in smooth bark of rather thin branches.
