Phycitodes binaevella

*Phycitodes binaevella* (Hübner, 1813)
Status ..... Fairly common in Nottinghamshire, judging by the number of records and it is the most frequently trapped Phycitodes, which are not easy to identify from photographs. Phycitodes maritima also turns up in the county occasionally and so care must be taken with the identification of these moths.
