2021 Annual Report for: Tortricidae / Tortricinae
For species seen in 2021 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is taken from the main Hantsmoths website, and it is possible that some information on abundance and occurrence can get out of date, as it is impossible to keep up with all changes; however it should give a good introduction to each species.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 2021 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 2021, 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.
49.004 [B&F: 1010] Red-barred Tortrix Ditula angustiorana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in woodland, parks and gardens throughout much of the British Isles, less numerous in the north. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight common to very common. Wingspan 13-18 mm. The dark coloration of the fore- and hindwings, and the strongly pectinate antennae, are characteristic of the male; in the female the forewing is attenuated and the markings contrast with the greyish white ground colour [Bradley]. The larva is polyphagous on many plants, including yew and rhododendron - species that otherwise have few predators. It sometimes does superficial damage to ripening fruits in orchards.

Common in woodland throughout much of England and Wales. In Hampshire widespread but rarely common, although frequent in Botley Wood. Probably under-recorded elsewhere, none more so than on the Isle of Wight, where it was not recorded until 2013. Wingspan 18-24 mm. Weakly marked specimens, especially those with drab coloration, may be confused with forms of Dark Fruit-tree Tortrix P. heparana, from which the male may be distinguished by the white head and the female by the presence of reddish ochreous suffusion in the apical area of the hindwing [Bradley]. Larva feeds on various deciduous trees and shrubs, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

Similar in general coloration to P. cinnamomeana but lacking the white scaling on the frons in the male and the reddish suffusion in the apical area of the hindwing in the female. The angular projection of the median fascia distinguishes P. heparana from P. cinnamomeana and from brownish forms of P. cerasana [Bradley]. Larva polyphagous on various trees and shrubs, including several species of fruit tree, on which it occasionally causes much damage, attacking flowers of crops such as apple, pear, plum and currant, otherwise often living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.031 [B&F: 0989] Timothy Tortrix Zelotherses paleana (Hübner, 1793) - Common
Common on rough grassland and coastal sandhills throughout the British Isles, scarcer in the north. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight a local and uncommon species, but widely distributed, with no apparent population centre. Wingspan 17-24 mm. Whitish or greyish ochreous forms of this species can be confused with A. unitana, but may usually be distinguished by the darker cilia of the forewing in both sexes, and by the orange-yellow suffusion on the head and thoracic region and on the basal area of the forewing, especially in the male [Bradley]; see also Bilberry Tortrix A. viburnana. Larva feeds on various grasses and herbaceous plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.037 [B&F: 0993] Cyclamen Tortrix Clepsis spectrana (Treitschke, 1830) - Common
Common in damp woodland, fens, marshes and gardens throughout the British Isles. Widespread and fairly common in Hampshire, but there are no recent records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan male 15-22 mm, female 17-24 mm. Yellowish forms of this species may be distinguished from C. rurinana by the stronger markings on the costa of the forewing and the more uniform whitish grey hindwing. Larva feeds on many different herbaceous plants, including Willowherb, Meadowsweet, Sea Wormwood and Sea Lavender, and, in gardens, on Cyclamen, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.039 [B&F: 0998] Light Brown Apple Moth Epiphyas postvittana (Walker, 1863) - Common
Common in gardens throughout much of the country. Thoroughly naturalised, through accidental introduction in garden plants, this native of Australia was first reported in Britain from Cornwall in 1936, it has since expanded its range across most of the country, and can be abundant where it occurs. Shows a marked preference for urban gardens, remaining relatively rare away from towns, and despite its common name, is neither light brown, nor particularly fond of apple! Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan male 16-21 mm, female 17-25 mm. The male is usually distinguished by the abrupt division of the forewing medially into a pale basal area and darker apical area, and the female by its large size and relatively elongate forewing, often with greatly reduced markings [Bradley]. Larva polyphagous on a wide range of plants, including Evergreen Spindle, causing sufficient damage to fruit trees to be a serious pest in some areas.

49.044 [B&F: 1025] Tortricodes alternella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common, in deciduous woodland, especially of oak, throughout Britain. In Hampshire, widely distributed and relatively common in oak woodland, appearing in 2009 in considerable numbers, including in many gardens well away from oak woodland. Likely to be under-recorded on the Isle of Wight with few recent records. Wingspan 19-23mm. One of the earliest Tortricids to emerge in Spring and unlikely to be confused with hibernating Tortricids which may be on the wing in early spring [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Oak, Hornbeam, Hazel, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Lime and Birch, living between leaves spun together with silk, and over-wintering as a pupa.

Common in woodland edges and hedgerows throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 14-18 mm. Another small Cnephasia about the size of C. asseclana, from which distinguished by the weaker irroration in the forewing (not as pale as C. genitalana). Can be determined with certainty only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds on Greater Plantain, Ribwort Plantain, Common Sorrel, Sheep's Sorrel and similar, living within a spinning.

49.050 [B&F: 1020] Grey Tortrix Cnephasia stephensiana (Doubleday, [1849]) - Common
Common in a wide range of habitats throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and generally the commonest of the Cnephasia which occur in the county. Wingspan 18-22 mm. The largest of the British Cnephasia with relatively broad forewings having a dark ground colour and dark grey fascia; small specimens may be confused with C. asseclana but in that species the costal spot of the forewing is stronger and usually extends to the termen. Often readily identified on size alone, but can be determined with certainty only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva polyphagous on various herbaceous plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.051 [B&F: 1021] Flax Tortrix Cnephasia asseclana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in gardens, farmland and other open areas throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 15-18 mm. Distinguished from C. pasiuana by the usually stronger and more variegated forewing pattern with a relatively narrow median fascia. Smaller than C. stephensiana but with similar dark markings so could quite easily be confused with small specimens of that species. Can be determined with certainty only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva polyphagous on various herbaceous plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.054 [B&F: 1023] Cnephasia genitalana Pierce & Metcalfe, 1922 - Local
Local in gardens, woodland edges and other open areas in parts of south-eastern England and Wales. In Hampshire there has been an increase in the number of records received in the first decade of the century, and the species has been found to favour certain gardens in Waterlooville, Basingstoke and Southsea, amongst others. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first time at Totland in 2009. Wingspan 15-18 mm. The whitish slate-grey general coloration and usually obsolescent markings are characteristic of this species. Can be determined with certainty only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds on various Ranunculaceae and Compositae, living between flowers spun together with silk.

49.055 [B&F: 1018] Cnephasia communana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) - Local
Local with a preference for dry pastures, downland and fens throughout England and Wales. The earliest Cnephasia to emerge and the only one on the wing during most of May, about the size of Grey Tortrix C. stephensiana and usually with a paler ground colour and paler brownish fascia, but like all Cnephasia, identification can only be confirmed by dissection of genitalia. Like its congeners, undoubtedly under-recorded. Reported from Totland, Isle of Wight in 2021 (and again in 2022), the first report from the island since the mid-20th century. Wingspan 18-22 mm. Larva feeds on various herbaceous plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.057 [B&F: 1016] Cnephasia longana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common on downland and rough ground throughout much of England and Wales. In Hampshire fairly well distributed in the east of the county. Recorded on the Isle of Wight for the first time since 1850 at Compton Down and Brook in 2011. Wingspan 15-22 mm. One of the more easily identifiable Cnephasia species, the male differs from other species in the unicolorous ochreous forewing; in the female the characteristic markings are ochreous-brown. Larva feeds within flowerheads of various Umbelliferae, living between flowers spun together with silk, and over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.058 [B&F: 1034] Spatalistis bifasciana (Hübner, [1787]) - Local
Local in woodland edges in parts of southern England and southern Wales. In Hampshire a rare or, more probably, overlooked species, with notable populations in Pamber Forest and Botley Wood. On the Isle of Wight, first recorded in 1972 in Parkhurst Forest, with no other records received until 2009, when one was at Freshwater. Wingspan 12-14 mm. The small size of this species and the dark coloration and ochreous-yellow apical area of the forewing are characteristic [Bradley], although it does bear a superficial resemblance to the far more common Pseudargyrotoza conwagana. Larva feeds within berries of Buckthorn, Alder Buckthorn and Dogwood.

49.059 [B&F: 1033] Green Oak Tortrix Tortrix viridana Linnaeus, 1758 - Common
Common in oak woodland, woodland, parks, gardens and areas with scattered trees throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight formerly abundant in oak woods, though prone to annual fluctuations. At times, larvae would reach pest proportions and form the staple diet for insectivorous birds and their young, but this phenomenon is rarely noted nowadays. Wingspan 17-24 mm. This species is unique amongst the British Tortricids in having a light green, almost unicolorous forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Oak and deciduous trees, living within a spun or rolled leaf, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in some areas, over-wintering as an egg.

49.066 [B&F: 1038] Acleris laterana (Fabricius, 1794) - Common
Common in woodland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and fairly common, perhaps under-recorded in some areas. Wingspan 15-20 mm. Certain forms of this species closely resemble forms of A. comariana, from which reliably separated by dissection of the genitalia. The brownish f. perplexana may be confused with f. castaneana of A. schalleriana, but may be distinguished by the comparatively smooth costa of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Willow, Bilberry, Raspberry, Blackthorn, Rowan and similar, living within a spun or rolled leaf, over-wintering as an egg.

49.073 [B&F: 1047] Acleris schalleriana (Linnaeus, 1761) - Local
Local in gardens and woodland throughout much of England and Wales, rare in Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight local on the chalk, where the the larva is found mainly on Wayfaring-tree, and in the New Forest and elsewhere, where it occurs on Guelder-rose; also occurs in gardens where either (or both) species is planted. Wingspan 15-20 mm. The moderately rough-scaled anterior margin of the forewing and the enlarged costal blotch, which extends to near the apex, distinguish this species from A. laterana and A. comariana [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Guelder-rose and Wayfaring-tree, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.075 [B&F: 1052] Acleris umbrana (Hübner, [1799]) - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) in woodland, fens and marshes in parts of England and Wales. In Hampshire this scarce and elusive species has been knocked out of old hawthorns in the New Forest in the past, but nothing has been heard of it since the 1930s, until there was an aberrant migration event in early January 2013, when a number were trapped across southern England, during which an individual turned up in Pennington. In subsequent years the species has become increasingly frequent and appearances in the two counties are now expected annually (reported new for North Hampshire in 2022). Wingspan 18-23 mm. This species is similar to certain forms of A. hastiana; it may be distinguished by differences in the shape of the costa of the forewing, which in both sexes of A. hastiana appears shallowly concave beyond the middle; also, the two small but well-developed scale-tufts present in the tornal area of the forewing in A. umbrana, are not found in A. hastiana [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Bird Cherry and Rowan, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.076 [B&F: 1054] Acleris cristana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in woodland throughout much of southern England. Reasonably well distributed across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 18-22 mm. The very large coarse-scaled tuft situated towards the end of the discal cell on the forewing is peculiar to A. cristana, and is present in most forms, readily distinguishing this species from others in the genus Acleris [Bradley]. Larva feeds on various herbaceous trees and shrubs, including Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Beech, Oak, Birch, Hazel, Lime and Elm, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.077 [B&F: 1048] Garden Rose Tortrix Acleris variegana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Common
Common in gardens and woodland throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire, distribution on the Isle of Wight apparently restricted to the south and west. Wingspan 14-19 mm. The form f. brunneana resembles the closely related species A. permutana in general appearance [Bradley]. Larva has been recorded on many species of Rosaceceae favouring Wild and Cultivated Rose, and Blackthorn, living within a spun or rolled leaf, and over-wintering as an egg.

Common in woodland, hedgerows, fens and freshwater margins throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 17-24 mm. A number of forms of this highly polymorphic species resemble certain forms of A. cristana, but A. hastiana can usually be distinguished by the relatively straight costa of the forewing and the presence of numerous small scale-tufts; other forms resemble A. umbrana and A. abietana, which see. Larva feeds on various species of Salix, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

49.082 [B&F: 1055] Acleris hyemana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local on heathland and moorland throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire most frequent in the New Forest; there is one record from the Isle of Wight and a few from outside the New Forest, which suggest the species may, on occasion, adapt to cultivated heathers. Wingspan 14-20 mm. The narrow forewings with prominent apex, especially in the female, and the purplish brown and silver-white coloration are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Heather and Bilberry, living between shoots spun together with silk.

49.085 [B&F: 1050] Acleris kochiella (Goeze, 1783) - Local
Local in hedgerows, gardens, orchards and parks throughout southern England, north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widely distributed, but not particularly common, and most frequent on the coast east of Southampton, where the larval spinnings are recorded in small numbers in most years. Wingspan 15-18 mm. Specimens of the autumn generation of this species resemble A. logiana, but are usually greyer in general coloration [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Elm, living within a spun or rolled leaf; larvae of the summer brood are much more common than those of the spring generation.

49.086 [B&F: 1051] Acleris logiana (Clerck, 1759) - Local
Local in birch woodland in parts of the Scottish Highlands, appearing in recent years as a migrant in southern England, where temporarily established. In Hampshire this species was first recorded in the county from larvae collected in Botley Wood in vice-county 11 by John Langmaid in 1991; a remarkable discovery, given that previously it was known only from the Highlands of Scotland. Subsequent discoveries elsewhere in birch woodland in vice-county 11 indicate that it is most likely a new arrival which is spreading; the individual shown here was the first for the north of the county, and was followed closely by another found on a tree trunk during a trapping session on Hook Common in 2003. On the Isle of Wight recorded for the first time in 1997, with another in 2012 at Cranmore. Wingspan 18-22 mm. The nominate form and f. tripunctana of this species resemble specimens of the autumn generation of A. kochiella. Larva feeds on Silver Birch and Downy Birch, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

Local in oak woodland throughout much of Britain, rare in Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight reasonably well distributed in suitable habitat throughout; perhaps benefitting from a reduction in the amount of collecting of this highly variable and attractive species. Wingspan 18-22 mm. Although an extremely variable species, readily distinguished by the light green or olive-green ground colour and black markings of the forewing, and the presence of characteristic fulvous or ferruginous markings in some of the forms [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Oak, living between leaves spun together with silk.

The general yellowish coloration and metallic irroration of the forewing and the usually conspicuous pale yellow dorsal blotch readily distinguish this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds within fruits and berries of Wild and Garden Privet, and Ash, over-wintering as a pupa.

49.092 [B&F: 0921] Phtheochroa inopiana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local in dry pastures, fens and marshes, and on river-banks and other damp areas throughout England and Wales. Reasonably common in Hampshire, with the south-east quarter of the county responsible for more than two thirds of the total records on the county database, and with no indication of any significant decline in numbers, but very rare on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 17-22 mm. The relatively large size of this species and the obscure markings and drab coloration of the forewing are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Common Fleabane and Field Wormwood, living within a silken tube or tent.

49.094 [B&F: 0923] Phtheochroa sodaliana (Haworth, 1811) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in dry pastures, heathland and fens in parts of England and south-western Ireland. In Hampshire very local on the chalk around Winchester between the Itchen and Test valleys, also recorded historically from Oxenbourne Down, with wanderers elsewhere. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 13-17 mm. In some respects reminiscent of a small P. rugosana but at once distinguished by the conspicuous ferruginous-red apical spot and the generally white basal area of the forewing; the dappled hindwing distinguishes this species from Hysterophora maculosana [Bradley]. Larva feeds within berries of Buckthorn.

49.097 [B&F: 0936] Cochylimorpha straminea (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in a wide range of habitats throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and rather common in localities where the foodplant occurs, mainly on the chalk and along the coast. Wingspan 13-21 mm. Large specimens with the markings well developed may resemble small C. alternana but may be recognised by the comparatively unmarked basal and terminal areas of the forewing and the absence of scale-tufts in the median fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems of Common Knapweed, living within the developing seeds.

49.111 [B&F: 0954] Eupoecilia angustana (Hübner, [1799]) - Common
Common on woodland edges, mountains and heathland throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire but still scarce on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-15 mm. Apart from the somewhat confusing Shetland and Orkney subspecies, most closely resembles Vine Moth E. ambiguella, from which distinguished by the narrower and relatively diffuse median fascia of the forewing and the presence of a terminal fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within flowers of Greater Plantain, Ribwort Plantain, Yarrow and Heather.

49.112 [B&F: 0955] Vine Moth Eupoecilia ambiguella (Hübner, 1796) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) on heathland and woodland in parts of southern England. In Hampshire very local in the New Forest and Emer Bog in the south, and discovered in 1987 on Newtown Common in the north. On the Isle of Wight, recorded from a few sites in the far west. A distinctive species, readily recognised by the pale ochreous general coloration of the forewing and the contrasting heavy median fascia [Bradley]. Larva feeds within flowers of Alder Buckthorn, Honeysuckle and Grape-vine, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in vineyards in some areas, over-wintering in a case made from leaf fragments.

49.120 [B&F: 0947] Aethes smeathmanniana (Fabricius, 1781) - Common
Common in waste ground, shingle beaches and chalk downland throughout much of Britain. In Hampshire widespread and common but probably under-recorded, the extent of known records correlating with those areas in which the recording effort is concentrated. On the Isle of Wight, seemingly rather uncommon. Wingspan 12-17 mm. Readily distinguished from A. cnicana and A. rubigana by the narrower and more elongate forewing and the narrower median fascia which is more outward-oblique from the dorsum; in general appearance it somewhat resembles Cochylimorpha straminea but is distinguished by the presence of the well-developed fasciate pre-tornal marking [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Yarrow and Common Knapweed.

49.121 [B&F: 0939] Aethes tesserana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Local
Local in a wide range of habitats throughout much of southern England, with records north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight it seems to prefer xerothermic conditions such as dry, close-cropped chalk downland and coastal shingle, and largely absent from the New Forest and northern half of the county. Wingspan 12-17 mm. The bold chequered pattern formed by the markings and contrasting ground colour of the forewing are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within roots of Ploughman's-spikenard, Bristly Oxtongue and Hawkweed Oxtongue.

49.123 [B&F: 0951] Aethes beatricella (Walsingham, 1898) - Local
Local on waste ground, in woodland edges and hedgerows throughout much of England and Wales. In Hampshire infrequently recorded and nowhere common, but has been recorded several times from Southsea; first recorded from the Isle of Wight in 2015. Wingspan 14-17 mm. Distinguished from A. francillana by the broader and less oblique median and postmedian fasciae of the forewing [Bradley]. Larva feeds within stems of Hemlock.

49.124 [B&F: 0950] Aethes francillana (Fabricius, 1794) - Local
Local in dry pastures, downland and waste ground throughout much of the British Isles, predominantly coastal in the north of its range. In Hampshire largely absent from the New Forest and uncommon in the north, but fairly widely distributed in the south-east and along the chalk. On the Isle of Wight, there are no recent records, but it has occurred in the past. Wingspan 13-18 mm. Differs from A. dilucidana in having the median fascia of the forewing complete; compared with A. beatricella the median and postmedian fasciae are narrower and more oblique, the costal end of the median fascia extending beyond the dorsal end of the postmedian [Bradley]. Larva feeds on seeds of Wild Carrot, living between flower heads spun together with silk.

49.129 [B&F: 0959] Cochylidia rupicola (Curtis, 1834) - Local
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.

49.132 [B&F: 0956] Cochylidia implicitana (Wocke, 1856) - Local
Local on waste ground throughout much of southern England, north to Lancashire. In Hampshire an elusive, uncommon species, with scattered records mainly concentrated in North Hampshire and the south-east. Rarely encountered elsewhere, including the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Slightly larger than C. heydeniana, and usually readily distinguished by the presence of a weak pinkish flush to the forewing and the relatively slender median fascia; similar to forms of Falseuncaria degreyana, which lack the pink flush to the forewing, but which are readily recognised by the conspicuous line in the cilia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on flowers of Scented Mayweed, Sea Mayweed, Stinking Chamomile and Goldenrod, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.133 [B&F: 0968] Thyraylia nana (Haworth, 1811) - Common
Common in birch woodland and on heathland throughout much of Britain. Frequent in Hampshire, but only one old record from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 9-12 mm. A distinctive species, at once recognised by its small size and characteristic grey and ochreous general coloration, and the broad median fascia of the forewing with its outer margin outward-oblique from the costa and the inner margin diffuse and often confluent with the ill-defined basal fasciae [Bradley]. Larva feeds within catkins of Downy Birch and Silver Birch, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.134 [B&F: 0962] Cochylis roseana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local in rough ground throughout much of southern England, with records north to Cheshire. Under-recorded in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, where the extent of known records correlate with those areas in which the recording effort is concentrated, and probably present wherever the foodplants occurs regularly. Wingspan 10-17 mm. Distinguished from C. flaviciliana by the darker median fascia of the forewing and the presence of a subapical line in the cilia; the presence of the subapical line also separates this species from Falseuncaria degreyana [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Wild Teasel.

49.139 [B&F: 0966] Cochylichroa atricapitana (Stephens, 1852) - Common
Common on chalk downland and rough ground throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and fairly common on chalk downland and along the coast, and increasingly common wherever the larval foodplant is allowed to prosper. Wingspan 12-16 mm. The dark coloration of the head and thorax distinguish this species from C. dubitana and C. hybridella [Bradley]. Larva feeds on the flowers, stems and roots of Common Ragwort, over-wintering in a cocoon.

49.142 [B&F: 0960] Falseuncaria ruficiliana (Haworth, 1811) - Local
Local on downland, heathland and mosses throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire mainly restricted to downland sites such as Martin Down and Portsdown in the south, and Noar Hill in the north. On the Isle of Wight, has been recorded in the past, but there has been no recent records. Wingspan 12-15 mm. The lack of rose coloration in the forewing and the comparatively broad whitish-edged median fascia distinguish this species from F. degreyana [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Cowslip and Lousewort, over-wintering in a cocoon.
