Question: Which tree that is native to North America, Mexico, and Central America does Phyllocnistis liquidambarisella use as a host plant?
Context: Passiflora suberosa is a species of passionflower that is native to the Americas.  Its range stretches from Florida and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States south through Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to South America.  It is commonly known as corkystem passionflower due to the corkiness of older stems.  The fruit is not hardy and transitions from green to indigo, purple and, lastly, black as it ripens.  This species is a host plant for the caterpillars of the Gulf fritillary ("Agraulis vanillae"), Julia heliconian ("Dryas iulia"), Mexican silverspot ("Dione moneta") and zebra heliconian ("Heliconius charithonia").  It is a larval host plant for the glasswing butterfly ("Acraea andromacha") in Australia. Central America (Spanish: "América Central" or "Centroamérica" ) is the southernmost, isthmian portion of the North American continent, which connects with the South American continent on the southeast.  Central America is bordered by Mexico to the north, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.  Central America consists of seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.  The combined population of Central America is between 41,739,000 (2009 estimate) and 42,688,190 (2012 estimate). Arceuthobium abietinum is a species of dwarf mistletoe known as fir dwarf mistletoe.  It is native to western North America from Washington to New Mexico to northern Mexico, where it lives in coniferous forests as a parasite on various species of fir, particularly white fir, giant fir, and red fir.  This is a small shrub which is visible as a network of scaly yellowish stems extending above the bark of its host tree.  Most of the mistletoe is located inside the host tree, attached to it via haustoria, which tap the tree for water and nutrients.  The leaves of the mistletoe are reduced to knobby scales on its surface.  It is dioecious, with male and female mistletoe plants producing spikes of staminate and pistillate flowers, respectively.  The fruit is a sticky berry a few millimeters long which explodes to disperse the seeds it contains several meters away from the parent plant and its host tree. American sweetgum ("Liquidambar styraciflua"), also known as American storax, hazel pine, bilsted, redgum, satin-walnut, star-leaved gum, alligatorwood, or simply sweetgum, is a deciduous tree in the genus "Liquidambar" native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America.  Sweet gum is one of the main valuable forest trees in the southeastern United States, and is a popular ornamental tree in temperate climates.  It is recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves and its hard, spiked fruits.  It is currently classified in the plant family Altingiaceae, but was formerly considered a member of the Hamamelidaceae. Autochton cellus, the golden banded-skipper, is a North and Central American butterfly in the family Hesperiidae.  There are two populations, one in the eastern United States and the other in the southwestern United States and Mexico.  The eastern population is rare and local and uses only one host plant, hog peanut ("Amphicarpa bracteata").  The southwestern population is uncommon to common and uses more than one host plant (see host plant list).  The golden banded-skipper is most active mid-morning and late afternoon.  Their flight is sluggish and low to the ground, compared to closely related species. Pouteria sapota, mamey sapote, is a species of tree native to Mexico and Central America, naturally ranging from southern Mexico to southern Costa Rica, plus Cuba.  Today, the tree is cultivated not only in Mexico, but also in Central America, the Caribbean, and South Florida for its fruit, which is commonly eaten in many Latin American countries.  Mamey can be found in many Latin American communities throughout the USA, where it is made into milkshakes and ice cream among other things. Cristo Negros or Black Christs of Central America and Mexico trace their origins to the veneration of an image of Christ on a cross located in the Guatemalan town of Esquipulas, near the Honduran and El Salvadoran border.  This image was sculpted in 1595 in wood and over time it blackened and gained a reputation for being miraculous.  Little is known of how veneration of the image was spread by clergy, although there are records of its introduction in various locations, especially in Central America, southern Mexico, central Mexico (especially in areas near Mexico City) and even as far north as New Mexico.  However, a number of these images, such as the ones in Chalma, State of Mexico and Mérida, Yucatán have origin stories that do not connect the local image with that of Esquipulas.  The Cristo Negro of Esquipulas remains an important symbol for Central America, with its sanctuary the most visited site in the region.  There are hundreds of other such images with at least local importance with Christ of Chalma attracting millions of visitors, second only to that of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico.  The popularity of the image continues to spread, with Central American and Mexican migrants bringing the image to the United States and Canada, founding new sanctuaries. Heimia salicifolia is a species of flowering plant in the Loosestrife family, Lythraceae.  It is native to the Americas, ranging from the southwestern United States (Texas and New Mexico) through Mexico and Central America to Argentina.  Common names include shrubby yellowcrest, sinicuichi, sun opener, willow-leaf heimia, sini.  The plant has been used for shamanic purposes by native peoples in Central America and Mexico. This is a list of the native wild mammal species recorded in Central America.  Central America is usually defined as the southernmost extension of North America; however, from a biological standpoint it is useful to view it as a separate region of the Americas.  Central America is distinct from the remainder of North America in being a tropical region, part of the Neotropic ecozone, whose flora and fauna display a strong South American influence.  The rest of North America is mostly subtropical or temperate, belongs to the Nearctic ecozone, and has many fewer species of South American origin. Phyllocnistis liquidambarisella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family, known from the United States (New York, Maryland, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, Florida).  The hostplant for the species is "Liquidambar styraciflua".  They mine the leaves of their host plant.  The mine has the form of a long, winding, linear mine on the upperside of the leaf.  It is rather indistinct, without any central line of frass.
Answer: Liquidambar styraciflua
