***Millieria*** is a genus of [moths](/source/Moth) in the family [Choreutidae](/source/Choreutidae), containing only one species, ***Millieria dolosana***, which is found from [Morocco](/source/Morocco) north to [Germany](/source/Germany), [France](/source/France) and [Poland](/source/Poland), east to southern [Russia](/source/Russia) and [Israel](/source/Israel).

The length of the forewings is 4.0-4.8 mm. Adults are on wing from March to December in the south and from April to November in the north. There are at least two generations per year in the north.[1]

The larvae feed on *[Aristolochia clematitis](/source/Aristolochia_clematitis)*, *[Aristolochia macrophylla](/source/Aristolochia_macrophylla)* and *[Aristolochia pistolochia](/source/Aristolochia_pistolochia)*. They are gregarious [leaf miners](/source/Leaf_miners) and make irregular blotchlike mines on the dorsal surface of the leaves, with several larvae occupying one leaf mine. The mine is a large, blackish, full depth blotch at the leaf margin. There is no initial corridor. The [frass](/source/Frass) is deposited in grains, scattered through the mine. Pupation takes place within a [lentil](/source/Lentil)-shaped pupal case formed within the leaf mine.
