This seems an incommon moth in Nottinghamshire, but there are
several other, similarly metallic, bronze coloured Coleophora,
so it is important to check the detail in the antennae. This species has
the antennae white-tipped, not ringed and the base is heavily clothed
with scales. Coleophora alcyonipennella has similarly coloured
antennae, but lacks the thick covering of scales at the base.
Coleophora deauratella was only seperated from the visually
identical C. frischella in 1976, but the latter species is only
found in the south-west of the UK. |
