Classification
| Family: | Tortricidae |
| Subfamily: | Tortricinae |
| Genus: | Cochylidia |
| Species: | rupicola |
| Authority: | (Curtis, 1834) |
Local in woodland, downland, marshes, river-banks and ditches throughout much of England and southern Ireland, predominantly coastal in the north of its range. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight distinctly uncommon, with records restricted to those locations where the recording effort is concentrated: Botley Wood, Leckford, Fareham, Portsmouth and, on the Island, Ventnor. Wingspan 12-14 mm. The comparatively broad forewing and the rounded apex are rather characteristic of this species. Distinguished from C. subroseana by the broader median fascia and the well-developed postmedian and subapical markings [Bradley]. Larva feeds on flowers and seeds of Hemp-agrimony, over-wintering in a cocoon.
