description: <i>Ectoedemia (Zimmermannia) liebwerdella</i> Zimmermann <b>Biology.</b> Hostplants: reared from <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L. Adults have been collected in forests without <i>Fagus</i>, and only <i>Quercus</i> present, and also far outside the distribution area of <i>Fagus</i>, so oaks are the likely alternative host. Larvae with a one or two year life cycle. Adults fly from 7 June to 22 August. <b>Distribution.</b> Norway: Aarvik et al. 2006; Switzerland: Bryner et al. 2004; Spain, Portugal: Van Nieukerken et al. 2004a; Russia: Van Nieukerken et al. 2004b; Bulgaria: Cicak et al. 2006. See also Baldizzone 2004; Van Nieukerken et al. 2006. We record the first adults for Bulgaria and the species as new for Macedonia, Turkey and San Marino and we present many additional records for Germany, Greece and Italy. <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Ectoedemia liebwerdella</i> is almost inseparable from the previous species in the male and female genitalia. However, the white thorax of <i>atrifrontella</i> and the larger humeral lobe in <i>liebwerdella</i> usually suffi ce to separate the taxa. Some studies in Eastern Europe suggested that larvae of this species might be a vector for the “beech bark necrotic disease” (caused by Ascomycete fungi of the genus <i>Nectria</i> (Fr.) Fr.), but most cannot find a significant correlation (Cicak et al. 2006; Mihal and Cicak 2001; Rojek 2005; Zubrik et al. 2002). <b>Material.</b> <b>Bulgaria:</b> 5♁, 2&amp;female;, Burgas, 40 km SE, Ropotamo, 26–27.
