Mycomya occultans
Habitat:According to Winnertz (1863), the larva lives in Daedalea qllercina Fr. and in leather-like "Polyporus" species, and pupates in the fungus. In Finland a female obviously belonging to this species has been reared on Inonolus radiatus (Fr.) Karst. Eisfelder (1955) lists M. occullans from Lenziles belulina (Fr.) Fr. and Plicaturopsis crispa (Fr.) Reid. (= "Plicalura faginea"). The larval web has been described by Plachter (1979:187, Fig. 6)
