16.010 .... B&F 0435
Zelleria hepariella (Stainton, 1849)
Status .....Recorded at Lound Wood near Eakring once in 2006 and then not again, until another turned up at MV light, again at Lound Wood, some 19 years later in October 2025. Despite much recording work at many sites in those years, we never recorded it anywhere else and it seems genuinely rare in Nottinghamshire, despite Ash Fraxinus excelsior being the larval foodplant.
