2023 Annual Report for: Tortricidae / Olethreutinae
For species seen in 2023 that had less than or equal to 100 records, full details are included; for more common species, the earliest, latest and highest count by vice-county are shown. The narrative for each species is taken from the main Hantsmoths website, and it is possible that some information on abundance and occurrence can get out of date, as it is impossible to keep up with all changes; however it should give a good introduction to each species. The tables in each species account summarise the previous status, and that for the current year.
For the maps, all records prior to 2023 are shown by a blue dot (the larger the dot, the more recent), with the current year's records shown in red. As previous records are superimposed on any report for 2023, new sites have greater emphasis (i.e. will show as 'more red').
In the species accounts, an asterisk next to a location indicates a new 10km square record; earliest ever dates are highlighted in orange, and latest ever in red. Initials in the species accounts refer to the recorders listed here. Please get in touch if you identify any omissions or errors, in particular if you have records that have yet to be submitted. Details of how to submit records can be found here.
49.143 [B&F: 1114] Eudemis porphyrana (Hübner, [1799]) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in woodland in parts of southern England. In Hampshire very local and primarily associated with semi-ancient woodland, principally Botley Wood and a few sites in the New Forest, and in the north from Pamber Forest. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 17-21 mm. Distinguished from E. profundana by the obsolescent basal fasciae, which are never strongly developed on the dorsum, and the deeply indented whitish dorsal blotch [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Apple, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

VC11: Pigeon House Coppice, Boarhunt, one, gen. det., 11 Aug (F.M.G. det. RJD)
49.144 [B&F: 1113] Eudemis profundana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in oak woodland, in England, Wales and southern Ireland. Widespread and fairly common to common in oak woodland in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 14-20 mm. The rather broad, rounded forewing and general marbled appearance are characteristic of the two Eudemis species on the British list: E. profundana is separated from E. porphyrana by having the upper edge of the dorsal blotch not deeply indented and the basal fasciae usually well developed dorsally [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Oak, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.145 [B&F: 1088] Pseudosciaphila branderiana (Linnaeus, 1758) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) wherever there are stands of aspen, in woodland, gardens and parkland across much of southern England, occasionally north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire very local on a few sites, particularly Botley Wood and Pamber Forest, and seldom straying far. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1900. Wingspan 21-27 mm. One of the largest of the British Olethreutines, this species is further characterised by the general forewing coloration and the obsolete or obsolescent markings; the typical almost unicolorous form and the fasciate f. wahlbomiana appear to be equally frequent in occurrence [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Aspen, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.151 [B&F: 1094] Apotomis capreana (Hübner, [1817]) - Local
Local in woodland, marshes, river-banks and by ditches in the southern half of England and Wales. Fairly widely distributed in Hampshire, but recorded only once on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 18-22 mm. Differs from A. betuletana by its somewhat broader forewing, the costa being more strongly arched; further distinguished by the slightly concave outer edge of the median fascia and its hook-like indentation at the middle and the generally more strongly dilated and black-dotted subterminal fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Goat Willow, living between leaves spun together with silk.

Local in rough pastures and grassland in parts of southern England, southern Wales and southern Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight records are widely, but very sparsely, distributed throughout. Wingspan 15-19 mm. The overall pink or pinkish buff general coloration of the forewing distinguishes this species from C. striana and C. rufana; furthermore, in C. striana the median fascia is strongly developed while in C. rufana the forewing is comparatively broad and the general coloration is darker, varying from dull olive-brown to ferruginous-brown [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Sow-thistle and Dandelion.

49.166 [B&F: 1076] Celypha lacunana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common on woodland edges and roadside verges and in rough grassland, hedgerows and gardens throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 14-18 mm. Although extremely variable, this species can usually be distinguished from its near relatives by the strong indentation or lacuna in the median fascia above the middle, and in dark forms this indentation tends to become obscure but is seldom totally obliterated [Bradley]. Larva polyphagous on numerous herbaceous, and some woody, plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.169 [B&F: 1069] Celypha aurofasciana (Haworth, 1811) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in woodland in parts of southern England and western Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight there are three old records, at Bembridge in 1875, Emery Down in 1900 and Baddesley Great Covert in 1929, but nothing was heard of it since until 2012, when it was found to be common in a Ventnor, Isle of Wight garden. Subsequently scattered reports have come in from a number of localities in mainland Hampshire, so it would appear to be increasing in range. Wingspan 12-14 mm. The narrow and apically rather rounded forewing and the typically conspicuous, broad, yellow fasciate area between the basal patch and median fascia distinguish this species; the specialised lobe at the base of the hindwing of the male is also characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on various mosses and various liverworts, often on tree trunks, living within a silken tube or tent.

49.172 [B&F: 1073] Phiaris schulziana (Fabricius, [1777]) - Local
Local on moorland, heathland and in mountains throughout much of the British Isles, but rare in southern England. In Hampshire formerly uncommon on the heaths of the New Forest and north-east Hampshire, but now virtually restricted to a single site near Oakhanger. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 17-25 mm. The largest of the British Olethreutines, O. schulziana is further distinguished by the bright ferruginous-brown coloration of the forewing markings contrasting with the narrow bands of silvery white ground colour, the small but conspicuous white spot at the upper angle of the cell, and the chequered cilia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Heather and Cranberry, living within a silken tube or tent.

49.179 [B&F: 1080] Olethreutes arcuella (Clerck, 1759) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and on heaths in parts of the British Isles, except in the far north. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight a local and uncommon woodland species which is perhaps overlooked. Wingspan 15-18 mm. The moth is diurnal but occasionally it comes to light. The attractive and specialised forewing pattern readily distinguishes this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on leaf litter and dead leaves.

49.180 [B&F: 1079] Piniphila bifasciana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local, in pine woodland, throughout much of Britain and southern Ireland. In Hampshire, locally common in pinewoods, especially on Scots Pine in the south of the county; also on Maritime Pine, a species that is locally common along the coast. Very few records from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-16mm. The comparatively rounded forewing, relatively straight-edged basal patch and well-defined, broad, almost parallel-sided median fascia, together with the pale ochreous general coloration, often tinged with pinkish, are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Scots Pine and Maritime Pine, living within a silken gallery amongst the young shoots and male plants.

49.181 [B&F: 1105] Lobesia occidentis Falkovitsh, 1970 - pRDB2
Vulnerable (proposed as a future Red Data Book species) in woodland, saltmarshes and on sandy beaches in parts of southern England. In Hampshire recorded in the past from Farley Mount and Crab Wood in the south, and from Micheldever Wood in the north, but recorded recently only from woodland north of Little Somborne. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-14 mm. The generally dark brown mixed with yellow coloration of the forewing, the moderately conspicuous yellowish dorsal blotch and the dark hindwing distinguish this from other Lobesia species [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seeds of Wood Spurge and Sea Spurge, over-wintering as a pupa.

49.184 [B&F: 1106] Lobesia reliquana (Hübner, [1825]) - Local
Local in woodland, gardens, orchards and parks throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and Wight widespread and locally common. Wingspan 12-14 mm. Crepuscular. The narrow, sharply angled fore- and hindwings and the ferruginous general coloration of the forewing and its triangular, plumbeous and black dorsal patch are characteristic; the male is further distinguished by its white, apically infuscate hindwing [Bradley]. Larva feeds on shoots and leaves of Oak, Blackthorn and Birch.

49.185 [B&F: 1109] Lobesia littoralis (Westwood & Humphreys, 1845) - Local
Local on sea cliffs, saltmarshes, shingle beaches and gardens throughout much of the British Isles, predominantly coastal. In Hampshire common on the coast amongst sea-thrift, but has also become well-established in gardens where this plant is grown. On the Isle of Wight, largely restricted to the extreme south-western corner of the Island. Wingspan 12-15 mm. The largest of the British Lobesia species, it is distinguished by its comparatively narrow forewing with a normally well-defined median fascia and with the subbasal fascia forming a strong subquadrate blotch on the dorsum [Bradley]. Larva feeds on flowers and seedheads of Thrift.

49.186 [B&F: 1097] Endothenia gentianaeana (Hübner, [1799]) - Common
Common on rough ground and dry pastures throughout much of England and Wales, less numerous in the north. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight this species probably occurs wherever Teasel is established - even a few plants seems to suffice. Wingspan 15-19 mm. Generally larger than other species of Endothenia, it has the forewing ground colour more extensively tinged with ochreous distally and a usually distinct pale grey or pale violaceous grey patch from the tornus reaching half way across the wing to near the middle [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Wild Teasel: opening old heads in winter seldom fails to produce evidence of the larva in the central pith; the larva itself may either be found in the head or inside the stalk.

49.187 [B&F: 1098] Endothenia oblongana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local on field edges, chalk downland and flower meadows throughout much of England and Wales. In Hampshire recorded increasingly, mainly in the south-east of the county, and remaining rare away from the chalk; first reported from Wight in 2015. Wingspan 13-15 mm. Resembles a medium-sized E. gentianaeana but distinguished by the more broadly suffused apical area, which reduces or narrows the band of whitish ground colour beyond the median fascia, the more strongly dilated subterminal fascia, the pale patch from the tornus lacking a violaceous tinge, and by the paler hindwing [Bradley]. Despite what some publications say, the larva does not feed on Common Knapweed, but in the rootstock of Plantago lanceolata (Entomologist's Gazette (2010) Vol. 61).

Common in rough ground, damp meadows, heathland and fens throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire only regular in the south-east; extremely scarce on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-16 mm. The male of E. marginana can be distinguished from both sexes of E. gentianaeana and E. oblongana by its conspicuously white hindwings; the female is not so readily distinguished, having only the basal area of the hindwing paler. Both sexes can be usually separated from small specimens of E. gentianaeana by the narrow band of whitish ground colour beyond the median fascia of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Betony, Common Hemp-nettle, Lousewort and Yellow-rattle.

49.190 [B&F: 1101] Endothenia ustulana (Haworth, 1811) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and waste ground in parts of England and Wales, mainly in the south and south-east. In Hampshire recorded very rarely away from Botley Wood, and there have been no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 9-13 mm. The general coloration of the forewing is darker than in E. pullana, with which it has been thoroughly confused in the past; further distinguished by the darker hindwing and cilia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Bugle.

49.191 [B&F: 1102] Endothenia nigricostana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local in woodland and dry pastures throughout much of England and Wales. In Hampshire mainly restricted to the south-east and M3 corridor, but perhaps under-recorded; there are no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-15 mm. The obscure fasciate markings of the forewing and the large, diffuse, yellow-ochreous dorsal blotch obliterating the median fascia except for a narrow bar at the costa are characteristic, but an inconspicuous and sluggish species, whose presence is sometimes only revealed by collecting dry old stems of hedge woundwort during the winter [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems and roots of Hedge Woundwort.

Local in rough pastures, flower meadows and farmland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire uncommon, most frequent in the south-east, apparently absent from the New Forest, and very sparsely distributed in the north of the county. There are only two recent records from the Isle of Wight, both from Totland. Wingspan 14-20 mm. Similar to E. quadrimaculana but smaller; the forewing has a more uniform ochreous-brown or reddish brown general appearance and lacks the strong black admixture in the median fascia medially [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots and lower stems of Marsh Woundwort, Hedge Woundwort and Corn Mint.

Local in water meadows, marshes and on river-banks throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire rather uncommon and sparsely distributed, mainly along the south coast, but also inland at Leckford, Selborne and around Basingstoke. On the Isle of Wight, confined to the extreme west of the Island. Wingspan 18-22 mm. Larger than E. ericetana and has the apex of the forewing more sharply angulate and retuse; differs further by the normally paler ground colour and the more contrasting markings, and by the blackish and more obtusely angled, central, blotch-like median fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots and lower stems of Marsh Woundwort and Spear Mint.

Common in damp heathland, mosses, marshes, river-banks and moorland throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 10-17 mm. Distinguished from B. furfurana by the crescent-shaped discocellular mark and the absence of a basal patch on the forewing; unicolorous specimens can only be separated by examination of the genitalia. Small specimens of B. robustana often resemble B. lancealana superficially and dissection of the genitalia may be necessary [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems of Compact Rush, Common Club-rush and Deergrass.

49.195 [B&F: 1110] Bactra furfurana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local in marshes, river-banks and ditches throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire the majority of records are from the south-east corner of the county and from Christchurch, and although there are only a few inland records, it has been recorded in the northern half of the county on a number of occasions. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first time since 1900 at Cranmore in 2011. Wingspan 11-18 mm. The weakly reticulate ground colour, the presence of a dark basal patch and a comparatively well-developed median fascia distinguish this species from B. lancealana and small examples of B. robustana; weakly marked and unicolorous specimens can only be separated by examination of the genitalia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems of Common Club-rush and Compact Rush.

49.224 [B&F: 1205] Bud Moth Spilonota ocellana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in orchards, woodland, gardens and parks throughout the British Isles, more numerous in the south. Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 12-16 mm. Characterised by the dense and well-defined basal patch, the usually prominent pre-tornal marking and the elongate ocellus of the forewing; the male is further distinguished by the antennal notch [Bradley]. The larva is polyphagous, showing a preference for woody Rosaceae such as apple, pear and hawthorn.

49.225 [B&F: 1205a] Spilonota laricana (Heinemann, 1863) - Local
Local in woodland with larch throughout England, Wales and southern Ireland. An uncommon and local species in Hampshire and Isle of Wight, and specimens away from extensive larch plantations need critical examination to separate from melanic ocellana. Wingspan 12-16 mm. Formerly regarded as a dark form of Bud Moth S. ocellana, from which distinguished by the comparatively narrow forewings and the nearly pure white ground colour coarsely strigulate with blackish grey [Bradley]. Larva feeds within bark of European Larch, living between needles spun together with silk, and over-wintering in a silken chamber.

49.226 [B&F: 1160] Acroclita subsequana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) - pRDB1
Endangered (proposed as a future Red Data Book species) on shingle beaches and sandy beaches in parts of southern England, predominantly coastal. In Hampshire following old records from southern Hampshire, nothing more was heard of this moth until larvae were found at Sandy Point on Hayling Island in June 1996. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 14-16 mm. The pale ochreous ground colour and the tawny markings of the forewing, which are only slightly darker and do not contrast strongly, give this species a characteristic appearance; the two small tufts of raised black mixed with whitish scales on the outer edge of the basal patch are a useful diagnostic character [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Sea Spurge and Portland Spurge, living between leaves and shoots spun together with silk, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.231 [B&F: 1155] Epinotia brunnichana (Linnaeus, 1767) - Common
Common in birch woodland and on heathland throughout much of Britain, more frequently in the north. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 18-23 mm. The nominate and other fasciate forms of E. brunnichana may be confused with some forms of E. solandriana but can be distinguished by the shape of the dorsal blotch of ground colour which is subquadrate in E. brunnichana and not triangular as in E. solandriana; in E. brunnichana the outer edge of the subbasal fascia is less oblique dorsally [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Birch, Hazel and Sallow, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.233 [B&F: 1156] Epinotia solandriana (Linnaeus, 1758) - Common
Common in woodland and scrubland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread and common, but with only scattered records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 15-21 mm. The nominate form of E. solandriana with the elongate-semiovate dorsal blotch on the forewing is distinctive, but forms with fasciate markings or with a white triangular blotch of ground colour dorsally can be confused with similar forms of E. brunnichana; in E. solandriana the dorsal blotch is triangular instead of subquadrate [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Birch, Hazel and Goat Willow, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.234 [B&F: 1150] Epinotia abbreviana (Fabricius, 1794) - Common
Common in hedgerows and woodland throughout much of the British Isles, favouring low-lying areas. In Hampshire still fairly common, especially in the south-east, with scattered records in the north, but largely absent from the New Forest and on the Isle of Wight, where there are only two recent records. Wingspan 12-16 mm. Well-marked specimens are characterised by the well-defined basal patch, which is angular medially and broadly edged throughout with the light ground colour, and the median fascia being more or less edged throughout distally with plumbeous strigulation; in dark or almost unicolorous specimens this plumbeous strigulation is still evident [Bradley]. Larva feeds on buds of Elm, revealing a highly distinctive arc of holes, subsequently living within a spun leaf.

49.237 [B&F: 1144] Epinotia signatana (Douglas, 1845) - Local
Local in woodland, hedgerows and scrub in England and Wales, mostly in the south and east. In Hampshire local and uncommon, largely restricted to the south-east, where there is a notable population in Botley Wood; very rare in the New Forest and north of the county, and not recorded from the Isle of Wight until 2014. Wingspan 14-16 mm. Characterised by its rather nondescript general appearance and the comparatively prominent black discal streak [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Blackthorn, Wild Cherry and Bird Cherry, living between leaves and shoots spun together with silk.

49.238 [B&F: 1147] Willow Tortrix Epinotia cruciana (Linnaeus, 1761) - Local
Local in a wide range of habitats throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire almost exclusively confined to the south-east corner, especially Botley Wood, but also Havant Thicket, Swanwick, Titchfield Haven, Wickham Common and a few other sites. Elsewhere, there are a few records from the north-east of the county, and on the Isle of Wight the species was last recorded at Priory Bay in 1979. Wingspan 12-15 mm. The very oblique median fascia and the subterminal fascia, with which it is confluent, enclose a triangular patch of ground colour on the costa, forming a distinctive forewing pattern characteristic of this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on terminal shoots of Creeping Willow, Eared Willow and Sallow, living between leaves spun together with silk.

49.242 [B&F: 1145] Epinotia nanana (Treitschke, 1835) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in coniferous woodland and plantations throughout much of the British Isles, but not in northern Scotland. In Hampshire local and uncommon, perhaps under-recorded due to its nondescript appearance. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight until 2020, when two specimens were taken in Shanklin. Wingspan 9-11 mm. The smallest of the British Epinotia species, characterised by its general dark coloration and obscure markings [Bradley]. Larva mines leaves of Norway Spruce, living between needles spun together with silk.

Common in a wide range of habitats throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire confined to sites such as Chandlers Ford, Botley Wood, Emer Bog, Havant Thicket and Wickham Common in the south, and Winnall Moors, Harewood Forest, Pamber Forest, Odiham Common and Yately Common in the north. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-16 mm. A slightly larger species than E. immundana and with generally lighter coloration; in E. tetraquetrana the medial angulation of the outer edge of the basal patch is obtuse, whereas in E. immundana it is acute [Bradley]. Larva feeds within bark of Birch and Alder, forming galls, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.

Common in woodland and freshwater margins throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread and not uncommon, although there are few recent records from the New Forest, or from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 12-16 mm. The predominantly ferruginous general coloration of the forewing is characteristic of this species; well-marked forms are somewhat reminiscent of A. mitterbacheriana, but the latter is distinguished by the falcate apex of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within catkins of Hazel and Alder, subsequently burrowing into and feeding on leaf buds.

Common in birch woodland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread and common throughout. On the Isle of Wight, the only recent record is of one in Combley Great Wood in October 2005. Wingspan 13-16 mm. Distinguished from E. bilunana by the grey general appearance of the forewing and particularly the comparatively solid and sharply defined triangular patch on the dorsum; the male of E. ramella lacks the costal fold on the forewing [Bradley]. E. ramella flies later in the year than the similar E. bilunana and, like that species, comes freely to light. Larva feeds within catkins of Birch.

49.251 [B&F: 1146] Epinotia rubiginosana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) - Local
Local in pine woodland throughout much of Britain. In Hampshire there are scattered records but it is far from common, although there has been an apparent increase from 2005 onwards. The larva makes distinctive spinnings, but all county records have been taken at light or beaten from foliage. There have been no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 13-15 mm. The orange-ferruginous coloration of the distal area of the forewing together with the rather conspicuous, subquadrate whitish dorsal blotch distinguish this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Scots Pine, living between needles spun together with silk.

In this species the fore- and hindwing coloration is brown compared with the grey-brown appearance of E. nemorivaga; E. tedella may be further distinguished by the cream-white labial palpus and head and the distinct basal and subbasal fasciae which do not form a basal patch as in E. nemorivaga [Bradley]. Larva mines needles of Norway Spruce, subsequently living within a spinning.

49.254 [B&F: 1133] Epinotia bilunana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in birch woodland, heathland and gardens throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire a common and widespread species of birch woodland. On the Isle of Wight, only recorded in the extreme west of the Island. Wingspan 13-17 mm. This species is characterised by the general cream-white appearance of the forewing, with contrasting blackish but somewhat diffuse markings on the dorsum [Bradley]. It flies earlier in the year than the similar E. ramella and comes freely to light. Larva feeds within catkins of Birch.

49.255 [B&F: 1138] Epinotia nisella (Clerck, 1759) - Common
Common in woodland, parks, marshes and freshwater margins throughout the British Isles. Widely distributed across much of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 12-17 mm. Differs from other Epinotia species of comparable size by its characteristic grey or cinereous coloration which, though often reduced, is present throughout its range of variation. Larva feeds within catkins of Salix and Populus sp. The distribution of f. cinereana, now considered to be a separate species (Epinotia cinereana), appears to be dependent on the presence of Aspen.

49.256 [B&F: 1138a] Epinotia cinereana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Recently separated from Epinotia nisella. Distribution in Hampshire and Isle of Wight unclear - reported from scattered localities in VC11 and VC12 to date.
Although Epinotia cinereana was considered a distinct species and was included in Pierce & Metcalfeis The Genitalia of the British Tortricidae (1914) which documented clear differences in the genitalia, this treatment was not followed by Bradley et al in their 1972 British
checklist; Razowski also omitted the species from his European Tortricidae publications.
Mutanen et al, 2012 (Zootaxa) discussed the two species in their Holarctic study and laid out a clear case for their separation.
Epinotia cinereana has the blackish or reddish blotches in the forewing absent and gives an overall greyish impression showing blackish streaks in the forewing. The larvae are said to feed between spun leaves of Aspen Populus tremula. Epinotia nisella usually shows a more highly patterned forewing with blotches of black or reddish in the forewing or along the dorsum; in rare instances they can appear wholly greyish like E. cinereana. For new localities, and where Aspen is not found, specimens should be retained for examination of the genitalia for separation.
Records of this species would be particularly welcome, especially from localities which are known to be close to Aspen stands.

49.261 [B&F: 1157] Crocidosema plebejana Zeller, 1847 - Local
A migrant species, which may also have been locally introduced with its food plant and now established. In Hampshire since the first record of this species at Martyr Worthy in 1961, it appears to have become resident at low density along the coast, with other records throughout likely relating to dispersal either within the two counties or from Europe. Wingspan 12-16 mm. The overall pale ochreous general coloration and the well-developed and relatively conspicuous, triangular pre-tornal marking are characteristic. Larva feeds on shoots and seed capsules of Tree-mallow.

49.263 [B&F: 1188] Pelochrista caecimaculana (Hübner, [1799]) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in dry pastures, downland and waste ground in parts of southern England and southern Wales. In Hampshire apparently always very rare, and the only place where it might be regarded as established is on Portsdown Hill. There is only one recent record from the Isle of Wight, at Shanklin in June 1995. Wingspan 14-20 mm. In general appearance reminiscent of certain Eucosma species, but distinguished by the poorly developed and inconspicuous ocellus which lacks metallic plumbeous edging [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Common Knapweed and Brown Knapweed.

49.269 [B&F: 1197] Eucosma campoliliana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in dry pastures, sand-dunes and waste ground throughout the British Isles, most numerous in coastal districts. Fairly well distributed in Hampshire, particularly on chalk downland and near the coast, but very rarely recorded on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 13-18 mm. A distinctive species, characterised by the white ground colour of the forewing and the contrasting, fragmented, ferruginous-ochreous and black markings [Bradley]. Larva feeds within flowerheads of Common Ragwort, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.272 [B&F: 1193] Eucosma tripoliana (Barrett, 1880) - Local
Local in saltmarshes throughout much of southern England and southern Wales, predominantly coastal, with records north to Lancashire. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight occurs in salt-marshes along the Solent, ranging no further inland than the Lower Test Marshes. Wingspan 13-17 mm. A more strongly marked species than E. rubescana, which occurs in similar saltmarsh habitats and has the same hostplant [Bradley]. Larva feeds within flowerheads of Sea Aster, over-wintering in a cocoon.

In Hampshire first recorded in the Itchen Valley in 1976, and increasing in the south, where associated with an increase in the foodplant, Prickly Lettuce, and now well-established in the Portsmouth and Southsea area. Has recently started to appear elsewhere in the county (1999 in vice-county 12) and on the Isle of Wight (2004). Wingspan 15-19 mm. The pale yellowish brown general coloration of the forewing and the relatively conspicuous medio-dorsal blotch of light ground colour are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on flowerheads of Prickly Lettuce, Garden Lettuce and Great Lettuce, over-wintering in a cocoon.

Nationally scarce (Nb) along woodland edges and rides, and in parks and gardens throughout much of south-eastern England. In Hampshire virtually restricted to Portsea Island, with a few isolated records elsewhere in the county and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 12-15 mm. Readily recognised by its distinctive forewing coloration and markings, somewhat reminiscent of Cherry Bark Moth Enarmonia formosana, but G. minutana is smaller and has paler forewing coloration and lacks the white interspaces between the costal strigulae, while the hindwing is paler and has greyish instead of white cilia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Black Poplar, White Poplar and Aspen, living between leaves spun together with silk.

49.279 [B&F: 1169] Gypsonoma dealbana (Frölich, 1828) - Common
Common in woodland throughout much of the British Isles, but not in northern Scotland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 11-15 mm. The nominate form, in which the forewing markings contrast with the ground colour, is reminiscent of G. sociana but can be distinguished by the cream-white frons and vertex of the head, which in G. sociana are clear white; the coloration of the head also distinguishes G. dealbana from other British Gypsonoma species [Bradley]. Larva feeds within buds and young shoots of Hazel, Hawthorn, Poplar and Sallow, subsequently living within a leaf-fold.

49.280 [B&F: 1170] Gypsonoma oppressana (Treitschke, 1835) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland edges, parks and gardens throughout England and Wales. Occurs very irregularly in Hampshire: the first Isle of Wight record was in 2015. Wingspan 12-15 mm. The diffuse, coarsely irrorate and farinose appearance of the forewing markings and ground colour are characteristic; and the termen is not sinuate as in other Gypsonoma species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on buds of Black and White Poplar.

49.281 [B&F: 1168] Gypsonoma sociana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in woodland, gardens, orchards, parks and on freshwater margins throughout much of Britain. In Hampshire widespread but rather local in all but the east central area, where apparently absent. On the Isle of Wight, there are recent records only from Shanklin and Totland. Wingspan 12-15 mm. Distinguished from other Gypsonoma species by the clear white frons and vertex of the head; the strongly contrasting, plumbeous strigulate with black forewing markings and the white ground colour are also characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within catkins of Black Poplar, Aspen and Sallow, subsequently burrowing into and feeding on leaf buds.

49.283 [B&F: 1167] Gypsonoma aceriana (Duponchel, [1843]) - Local
Local in woodland, gardens, orchards and parks throughout much of southern Britain. In Hampshire locally common amongst large poplars, mostly in the south-east, with only occasional scattered records elsewhere, and none on the Isle of Wight in recent years. Wingspan 13-15 mm. Distinguished from G. dealbana by the stronger and more extensive ochreous suffusion of the ground colour, the less angulated, straighter-edged basal patch and the black-centred ochreous apical spot of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva mines leaves and petioles of Poplar, living between leaves and petioles spun together with silk, subsequently burrowing into and feeding on stems.

49.285 [B&F: 1184] Epiblema scutulana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in waste ground and rough meadows throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and reasonably common, although true status remains uncertain owing to confusion with E. cirsiana, with which formerly treated as conspecific. Wingspan 18-23 mm. The male is very distinctive, but the female may be confused with E. cnicicolana; larger than E. cirsiana with the male characteristically larger and lighter in coloration than the female [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots and lower stems of Musk Thistle and Spear Thistle.

Common in a wide range of habitats throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and fairly common, although true status remains uncertain owing to confusion with E. scutulana, with which formerly treated as conspecific. Wingspan 12-20 mm. This species was until recently considered to be just a small form of E. scutulana, which see. Larva feeds within stems of Marsh Thistle and Common Knapweed.

Common in rough meadows and on waste ground throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire locally frequent, mainly on chalk downland and coastal sandhills; very rare on the Isle of Wight, where recorded at Cranmore in July 1997. Wingspan 13-18 mm. Similar in size and general appearance to E. cnicicolana but distinguished by the better-defined and ferruginous-brown fasciate markings of the forewing, the more sharply defined costal strigulae and the subquadrate medio-dorsal blotch which is weakly strigulate and sometimes connected to the costa by whitish striae [Bradley]. Larva feeds within lower stems and roots of Common Ragwort, over-wintering in a cocoon.

Common in gardens and hedgerows throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread and fairly common. There have been no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 16-22 mm. This is one of three closely related and difficult to separate species (see E. trimaculana and E. rosaecolana). Differs from E. rosaecolana by the heavier basal patch which is darker and has the outer edge sharply defined and parallel with the termen [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Wild Rose and Cultivated Rose, living within a spun or rolled leaf, over-wintering as an egg.

Common in gardens and hedgerows throughout much of Britain and western Ireland. In Hampshire widespread and fairly common. There have been very few recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 16-20 mm. This is one of three closely related and difficult to separate species (see E. trimaculana and E. roborana). A generally larger species than E. trimaculana with the forewing somewhat broader and the costa more strongly curved; the general coloration of the forewing is lighter while the costal strigulae are finer and more oblique [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Wild Rose and Cultivated Rose, living within a spun or rolled leaf, over-wintering as an egg.

49.298 [B&F: 1176] Notocelia trimaculana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in hedgerows, gardens and woodland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread but nowhere common, although the larva feeds on hawthorn, most records are at light. There have been no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 15-18 mm. This is one of three closely related and difficult to separate species (see E. rosaecolana and E. roborana). Differs from E. rosaecolana by its generally smaller size and comparatively narrow forewing which is somewhat darker in general coloration and has thicker, less oblique costal strigulae [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Hawthorn, living between leaves and shoots spun together with silk, over-wintering as an egg.

49.300 [B&F: 1209] Pine Bud Moth Pseudococcyx turionella (Linnaeus, 1758) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland throughout much of southern England and Scotland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight whilst concentrated in the New Forest, this species has turned up in Scots Pine woodland in other scattered locales. Wingspan 14-21 mm. Reminiscent of Clavigesta purdeyi in general appearance but readily distinguished by its much larger size, the ochreous-orange labial palpi and head and the white, infuscate hindwings [Bradley]. Larva feeds on buds of Scots Pine and Lodgepole Pine, causing some damage by selecting the central bud of a shoot, thereby aborting it.

49.304 [B&F: 1207] Pine Leaf-mining Moth Clavigesta purdeyi (Durrant, 1911) - Local
Local in pine woodland and plantations throughout much of England and Wales, spreading into southern Scotland. In Hampshire widely distributed, but local and usually uncommon. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-12 mm. The smallest of this group of pine-feeding species, C. purdeyi differs from the allied C. sylvestrana by the pronounced ferruginous-ochreous coloration of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within needles of Scots Pine, Lodgepole Pine and Corsican Pine.

49.305 [B&F: 1210] Pine Shoot Moth Rhyacionia buoliana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Local
Local in pine woodland, plantations and nurseries throughout much of England and Wales, rare elsewhere. In Hampshire common in Scots Pine woodland, especially in young plantations. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first time since 1948 at Cranmore in 2004. Wingspan 16-24 mm. Distinguished from R. pinicolana by the straighter costa, the distinctly orange markings and the triangular pre-tornal marking of the forewing, and the generally darker hindwings [Bradley]. Larva feeds within needles and young shoots of Scots Pine, Lodgepole Pine and Corsican Pine, subsequently burrowing into and feeding on developing buds, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in some areas.

49.306 [B&F: 1211] Rhyacionia pinicolana (Doubleday, 1850) - Common
Common in pine woodland and areas with scattered pine trees throughout England. In Hampshire locally common in woodland of Scots Pine, especially in the New Forest, and on the heaths in the north-east of the county; very rarely recorded on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 16-23 mm. Differs from Pine Shoot Moth R. buoliana by the more strongly marked costa, the ferruginous-chestnut coloration of the markings and the rounded apex of the pre-tornal marking of the forewing, and the paler hindwing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within needles and young shoots of Scots Pine, but is less likely than R. buoliana to cause the tree serious damage.

49.307 [B&F: 1212] Spotted Shoot Moth Rhyacionia pinivorana (Lienig & Zeller, 1846) - Common
Common in pine woodland and areas with scattered pines throughout the British Isles, more numerous in Scotland. Widespread and common in Hampshire. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first, and so far only, time at Freshwater in 1985. Wingspan 15-19 mm. The main confusion species is Pine Resin-gall Moth Retinia resinella, which differs in the ferruginous-brown general coloration of the forewing and the lighter hindwings with grey cilia [Bradley], but note that R. resinella is largely absent from southern England. Larva feeds within needles and young shoots of Scots Pine, subsequently burrowing into and feeding on developing buds.

49.309 [B&F: 1285] Dichrorampha plumbana (Scopoli, 1763) - Local
Local in rough meadows, dry grassland and waste ground throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread, but sparsely recorded away from the extreme south-east, and very infrequent on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-14 mm. Generally smaller than D. sedatana and distinguished by the absence of pale yellow irroration in the basal third of the forewing; D. plumbana is also generally smaller than D. aeratana but is similar in forewing pattern and markings [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Yarrow and Ox-eye Daisy.

49.311 [B&F: 1287] Dichrorampha aeratana (Pierce & Metcalfe, 1915) - Local
Local in waste ground throughout much of Britain, predominantly coastal in the north of its range and southern Ireland. In Hampshire widespread, but sparsely recorded away from the extreme south-east, and there is only one old report from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-16 mm. The male is distinguished from both sexes of D. sedatana by having only sparse pale yellow irroration in the basal area of the forewing; the female resembles that of D. plumbana, so closely that examination of the genitalia is necessary to distinguish them [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Ox-eye Daisy.

49.313 [B&F: 1279] Dichrorampha acuminatana (Lienig & Zeller, 1846) - Local
Local on meadows and waste ground throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread but local amongst similar but commoner species which fly with it over the foodplants on sunny afternoons during the summer. Wingspan 10-15 mm. The attenuate shape of the forewing and its dark purplish brown coloration and the sharply demarcated dark grey apices of the cilia are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Ox-eye Daisy and Tansy.

49.315 [B&F: 1281] Dichrorampha simpliciana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local on waste ground and roadside verges throughout England and Wales, most numerous in the south, and local in Scotland. Probably under-recorded due to its similarity to other related species - and examination of a specimen in new areas is generally required for acceptance - it is known from a number of localities generally on the chalk. One in 2022 on the Island was the first since the 1930s. Wingspan 12-17 mm. One of the largest of the British species of Dichrorampha and distinguished by its comparatively broad wings and grey-brown appearance of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Mugwort.

49.316 [B&F: 1278] Dichrorampha sequana (Hübner, [1799]) - Local
Local in dry pastures, gardens, orchards, parks and waste ground throughout southern England and south Wales. In Hampshire fairly widespread, and perhaps under-recorded due to its day-flying habits, but not recorded on the Isle of Wight for many years; apparently readily colonises areas where Yarrow is allowed to thrive. Wingspan 9-11 mm. Day-flying in afternoon sunshine. Recognised by the conspicuous, vertical, cream-white rectangular medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Tansy and Yarrow.

49.318 [B&F: 1284] Dichrorampha vancouverana McDunnough, 1935 - Local
Local in dry grassland, rough meadows, downland and scrub throughout much of Britain, more numerous in the south. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight appears to be one of the species which is benefiting from the increase in average summer temperatures in recent years, with a marked increase apparent in the last ten years. Wingspan 10-16 mm. Often found during the afternoon and warm evenings flying around the foodplants. Distinguished from D. alpinana and D. flavidorsana by the sombre general coloration of the forewing, which is suffused with comparatively dull ochreous-orange and has a dull and inconspicuous medio-dorsal blotch [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Yarrow and Tansy.

49.320 [B&F: 1274] Dichrorampha alpinana (Treitschke, 1830) - Local
Local in gardens, meadows and rough grassland in southern England and southern Wales. In Hampshire apparently extending its range in recent years, now widespread and generally common, and recorded for the first time on the Isle of Wight at Shanklin in 1996. Wingspan 13-15 mm. The moth flies over the foodplant in late afternoon and evening. Differs from D. flavidorsana by the comparatively broad medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing and the fuscous hindwing which is light basally; in the male the costal fold of the forewing is longer and extends to the median fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Ox-eye Daisy.

49.322 [B&F: 1276] Dichrorampha plumbagana (Treitschke, 1830) - Local
Local on dry pastures, downland, waste ground and sand-dunes throughout the British Isles, predominantly coastal in the north of its range. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight frequent only in and around Portsea Island. Wingspan 10-15 mm. Flies in afternoon sunshine. The pronounced olive-grey general appearance of the forewing, the dense irroration, the silvery white ground colour, silvery plumbeous striae and obscure fasciate pattern are characteristic [Bradley]. Day-flying habits and preference for Yarrow are shared by the closely related D. sequana, which see. Larva feeds within roots of Yarrow.

Common on heathland and moorland throughout the British Isles, becoming established even on isolated gorse bushes. Common and widespread in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-16 mm. Reminiscent of C. splendana in general appearance but differs in its smaller size and the weaker ocellus of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedpods of Gorse and, less frequently, Dyer's Greenweed, Petty Whin, Broom and Bird's-foot Trefoil, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.332 [B&F: 1268] Cydia coniferana (Saxesen, 1840) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland in parts of Britain and southern Ireland, where the larva feeds within damaged bark of Scots Pine. In Hampshire widespread in the New Forest and north-eastern heaths, perhaps under-recorded in recent years as there are very few recent records. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-14 mm.
Differs from C. conicolana by the presence of a distinct medio-dorsal blotch on the forewing and the better defined black dashes in the ocellus. Similar to C.cognatana (which is confined to Scottish Highlands) from which it cannot be reliably distinguished on external features. C. cosmophorana has solid white marks whereas the white markings of C. coniferana are each more or less divided by a brown line.

49.334 [B&F: 1267] Cydia cosmophorana (Treitschke, 1835) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland and on heathland in parts of eastern England and southern Scotland. In Hampshire three of the five records on the county database are from around Basingstoke. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 9-13 mm. Differs from C. coniferana and C. conicolana by the narrow but conspicuous transverse band of ground colour each side of the median fascia of the forewing and the distinct, white costal interspaces [Bradley]. Day-flying; most active in hot sunshine at midday and in the afternoon. Larva feeds within damaged bark of Scots Pine, subsequently feeding on resin.

49.335 [B&F: 1254] Spruce Seed Moth Cydia strobilella (Linnaeus, 1758) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in coniferous woodland and plantations throughout much of Britain. In Hampshire local amongst spruce in both vice-counties and, although not often seen, it may be bred from fallen cones collected in early spring - this was the case for the first county record in 1986, in Ampfield Wood (VC11) and in Feb 2023, 12 were reared from cones collected in Chawton Wood: all other records in our area relate to adults to light. New to the Isle of Wight in May 2016 during a 6-day spell when 22 individuals were reported across all three vice-counties, and therefore almost certainly relating to a dispersal event. Wingspan 10-15 mm. Reminiscent of C. conicolana but differs in having golden yellow irroration on the distal three-quarters of the forewing, a transverse medio-dorsal stria extending to the costa and a weakly marked ocellus [Bradley]. Larva feeds within cones of Norway Spruce.

49.338 [B&F: 1261] Codling Moth Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) - Common
Common in gardens, orchards and hedgerows throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 14-22 mm. Dark specimens of C. splendana are reminiscent of C. pomonella, but the latter is distinguished by the more pronounced, transverse, dark brown strigulation and the large, distinctly coppery ocellus of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruit of Apple, Quince, Pear, Plum, Walnut and Whitebeam, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in some areas, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.342 [B&F: 1259] Cydia fagiglandana (Zeller, 1841) - Common
Common in beech and other deciduous woodland throughout much of south-east England. In Hampshire fairly widespread across much of the county, but remains distinctly uncommon on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 13-19 mm. Similar to C. splendana but differs by the more uniformly grey general appearance of the forewing, the ocellus being comparatively obscure and lacking the dark purplish coloration [Bradley]. Larva feeds within nuts of Beech, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.344 [B&F: 1263] Cydia inquinatana (Hübner, [1799]) - Migrant
Formerly regarded as a very rare immigrant from mainland Europe, this species has been recorded in increasing numbers since the first authenticated British record was made at Minsmere, Suffolk, in 2009 with two further reports from the same county in Bawdsey, June 2010. It has established a breeding population in East Anglia and appears to be spreading. Discovered in north Hampshire in 2020 for the first time. Wingspan 12-16 mm. Larva feeds within fruit of Norway Maple, Field Maple and Sycamore.

Common in open woodland and dry pastures throughout the British Isles, most numerous in southern England. Widespread and common in Hampshire except in the New Forest, where apparently absent. Recorded on the Isle of Wight on only a handful of occasions since the first record in 1977. Wingspan 13-17 mm. A distinctive species, recognised by the orange-ferruginous coloration of the forewing and the absence of fasciate markings [Bradley]. Larva feeds on various species of St John's-wort, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.347 [B&F: 1241] Grapholita compositella (Fabricius, 1775) - Common
Common in dry grassland and flower meadows throughout much of the British Isles, most frequently in the south. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded from all three vice-counties in open country amongst clovers, usually in small numbers but sometimes commonly, chiefly in south-eastern parts of the county, flying late in the afternoon sunshine. Wingspan 8-10 mm. Readily distinguished by its characteristic dorsal blotch which is divided into four white striae [Bradley]. Larva feeds within flowerheads of White Clover and Red Clover, subsequently living within a leaf-fold.

49.349 [B&F: 1242] Grapholita internana (Guenée, 1845) - Local
Local on heathland and moorland throughout much of Britain, more frequently in the south, and in southern Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight very locally common to abundant amongst gorse, but only recorded for the first time on the Island in 1992. Wingspan 9-10 mm. In both sexes the forewing markings are similar to those of G. pallifrontana, but the black subbasal line in the cilia is interrupted subapically and the general coloration of the wing is lighter than in G. pallifrontana and is irrorate with yellow distally; the male of G. internana is readily distinguished by its white hindwings [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedpods of Gorse.

Rare (proposed as a future Red Data Book species) on chalk downland in parts of southern England. In Hampshire recorded just twice to date, at Leaden Hall in June 2004, and Southsea in June 2005. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-16 mm. Distinguished from G. gemmiferana by its comparatively narrow wings and the generally greyer coloration and poorly developed ocellus of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems of Sainfoin, over-wintering in a cocoon.

Common in woodland, downland and scrub throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and relatively common, although on the Island, restricted to the extreme western end. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Distinguished from G. internana and G. compositella by the paler general coloration of the forewing, the narrow, larger and more strongly curved medio-dorsal blotch and the well-developed ocellus [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedpods of Bitter Vetchling, Bush Vetch and similar, living between leaves spun together with silk, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.356 [B&F: 1249] Grapholita lobarzewskii (Nowicki, 1860) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in orchards in south-eastern England, where formerly known from only a few sites in Kent. In Hampshire first recorded from Waterlooville in 2003, with further records in the south-eastern corner of the county since. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first time at Freshwater in 2011. Wingspan 13-14 mm. Reminiscent of G. janthinana in general appearance but larger, with longer and relatively narrower forewings and darker fuscous-brown hindwings with white cilia. The male of G. lobarzewskii lacks the specialised scales present in the tornal area of the hindwing of G. janthinana [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruit of Apple and Plum.

49.357 [B&F: 1247] Plum Fruit Moth Grapholita funebrana Treitschke, 1835 - Local
Local in gardens, orchards and hedgerows throughout much of southern England, southern Wales and southern Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight fairly widespread and not uncommon in gardens where there are plum trees, but apparently largely absent from the New Forest, and on the Island confined to the extreme west. Wingspan 10-15 mm. Similar to G. molesta but generally larger; distinguished from G. tenebrosana by the darker, greyish fuscous labial palpi and frons and the whitish irroration in the distal and medio-dorsal areas of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruit of Plum, Blackthorn, Wild Cherry and similar, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.358 [B&F: 1246] Grapholita tenebrosana Duponchel, [1843] - Local
Local in woodland, gardens, orchards, parks and scrub throughout much of Britain and southern Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded in small numbers from all three vice-counties, but until recently only in southern Hampshire; it appears to be very local. In North Hampshire, Goater (1974) contains undated references to it being scarce in the Itchen Valley, and at Chilbolton: confirmed records from the north-east around Fleet in 2022 and 2023 give more concrete evidence that this species has a foothold in the county. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Distinguished from G. funebrana by the greyish white labial palpi and frons and the comparatively uniform purplish fuscous general coloration of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruit of Dog-rose and Cultivated Rose, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.359 [B&F: 1245] Grapholita janthinana (Duponchel, 1835) - Common
Common in hedgerows, gardens and woodland edges throughout much of England, Wales and southern Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight perhaps under-recorded away from the south-east of the county. Wingspan 9-11 mm. The comparatively small size, the relatively broad forewing with purplish or pinkish ochreous general coloration and ochreous-yellow admixture along the termen, and in the male the blackish scales and hair-like cilia in the tornal area of the hindwing, are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within berries of Hawthorn, living between berries spun together with silk, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.362 [B&F: 1227] Pammene giganteana (Peyerimhoff, 1863) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and on heaths throughout much of Britain, except in northern Scotland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded in small numbers from all three vice-counties, but flies early in the year and is easily overlooked. There have been no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 14-16 mm. The comparatively long and narrow forewings are characteristic of this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds within bark of Oak, forming galls, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.

49.363 [B&F: 1228] Pammene argyrana (Hübner, [1799]) - Local
Local in oak woodland throughout much of the British Isles. In south Hampshire, reasonably common in the New Forest and at Botley Wood, with scattered records elsewhere and in the north of the county, where its stronghold is in Pamber Forest; very rare on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Distinguished from P. giganteana by its smaller size, the broader and subquadrate medio-dorsal blotch and in the male by the heavy, sharply demarcated blackish brown border of the hindwing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within the bark of Oak, forming galls.

49.364 [B&F: 1230] Pammene suspectana (Lienig & Zeller, 1846) - pRDB2
Formerly known only from East Anglia, but in recent years numbers have increased with individuals reported from a number of counties in the south and east of the country, principally attracted to pheromone lures, principally that for funebrana. However two, new for Hampshire, were taken at MOL (molesta) in Romsey in April that year. Wingspan 11-13 mm. Similar to obscurely marked forms of P. albuginana, and requires dissection to separate from obscurana and albuginana. Larva feeds within bark of Ash.

49.365 [B&F: 1229] Pammene albuginana (Guenée, 1845) - Local
Local in oak woodland, broad-leaved woodland and orchards throughout southern England. Widely, but very sparsely, distributed in south Hampshire; very rare in north Hampshire and not recorded in the Isle of Wight until 2016. Wingspan 11-14 mm. Differs from P. argyrana in the darker general coloration and the usually more obscure medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing, and in the male by the more uniformly infuscate hindwing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within bark of Oak, forming galls, and over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.

49.367 [B&F: 1236] Pammene fasciana (Linnaeus, 1761) - Common
Local in deciduous, especially oak, woodland, and parkland throughout much of England and Wales, where more widely distributed in the south. In Hampshire common in oak and sweet chestnut woods throughout, but perhaps under-recorded on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 13-17 mm. The large, subfalcate medio-dorsal blotch, the presence of two or three sometimes contiguous black spots above the pre-tornal marking and the usually extensive series of black dashes in the ocellus are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruit of Sweet Chestnut and Oak, forming spongy galls, and over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.374 [B&F: 1235] Pammene trauniana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in woodland and scrub in parts of south-eastern England. In Hampshire very rare in the county, having been reported in the past from Botley Wood, and more recently from Hurn in 2000, St Catherine's Hill in 2003 and Magdalen Hill Down in 2008. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Differs from P. regiana in having the medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing pale yellow and subquadrate, its outer edge nearly straight to dorsum near the tornus, and the costal strigulae interspersed with thick wedges of pale yellow ground colour [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seeds of Field Maple, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.

Widespread in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, but rarely numerous, although cocoons may be found under the bark of old sycamores in numbers during the winter. Wingspan 13-16 mm. Differs from P. trauniana in having the medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing orange-yellow and subfalcate, its outer edge curving to meet the dorsum well before the tornus, the costal strigulae less widely separated by wedges of orange-yellow ground colour and the distinctly metallic bluish striae [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seeds of Sycamore and Norway Maple, over-wintering as a pupa in a cocoon.

49.377 [B&F: 1237] Pammene germmana (Hübner, [1799]) - Local
Local in hedgerows and open woodland throughout much of England, in recent years seldom found north of the Midlands. In Hampshire recorded in numbers only in Botley Wood and Pamber Forest, otherwise an uncommon and obscure species. First recorded from the Isle of Wight in 2012. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Day-flying. The satiny black-brown general coloration of the forewing, contrasting with the cream-white ground colour between the costal strigulae, and the bluish metallic striae are characteristic, however confusion with Strophedra weirana is possible [Bradley]. Larva feeds on shoots of Hawthorn, Blackthorn and Oak.

49.379 [B&F: 1272] Pammene aurana (Fabricius, 1775) - Common
Common in hedgerows, rough ground and woodland edges throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded in most years, but not in numbers since the mid 1970s, when numerous in Botley Wood. Wingspan 9-13 mm. Often found resting on flowers of Hogweed on sunny afternoons. The unique forewing pattern readily distinguishes this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on seeds of Hogweed, living between seeds spun together with silk, and over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.381 [B&F: 1221] Strophedra weirana (Douglas, 1850) - Local
Local in beech woodland across much of southern England. Fairly widely, but sparsely distributed across much of Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 10-12 mm. The relatively slender and attenuate forewing and the obscure and poorly defined fasciate markings and costal strigulae distinguish this species from S. nitidana [Bradley]; confusion with Pammene germmana is also possible. Larva feeds on Beech, living between leaves spun together with silk, and over-wintering as a pupa.
