Spilonota laricana (Heinemann, 1863)
Status .....Less common in Nottinghamshire through the localised distribution of the larval foodplant Larch Larix decidua, but probably under-recorded to some degree. Variable in markings, with the white areas on the fore-wings of Spilonota ocellana being replaced by grey scales, leading to a more undity looking moth. The forewings of Spilonota laricana are also less broad than the former species.
