Agnoea subochreella
Checklist Number30.002 [B&F: 0662]
Verification
Record will normally be accepted but photo evidence may be required - check with CMR if not sure of identity
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland in southern England, as far north as Worcestershire and Leicestershire, and in parts of Wales. In Hampshire most reports are from the south, where it is evidently widespread, and it has yet to be recorded from the north (possibly overlooked); on the Isle of Wight, work by Iain Outlaw has added a number of records in recent years to indicate that its status on the island reflects that of VC11. Wingspan 16-20 mm. Reliably separated from P. josephinae and P. flavifrontella only by dissection of the genitalia, however P. josephinae tends to appear later in the year, and P. subochreella generally has a plainer forewing and darker hindwing. Larva feeds on withered leaves, living within a movable case.
The abundance in each month is indicated as follows:
No records
Very occasional
