Fossils excluded from Lepidoptera
He suggested that damage by the extant Nymphalis antiopa (Nymphalidae) is a possible analogy to the trace fossils. He proposed feeding marks by the extant Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis (Psychidae) as a possible analogue to the trace fossils. The mine type resembles Paraectopa (Gracillariidae) or Chrysorthenches (Plutellidae) that occur on modern host species Agathis (Wilf et al. 2005).
