=Aporophyla lutulenta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)

General comments:
Widespread but local resident.

The relationship between Aporophyla lutulenta (Deep Brown Dart) and Aporophyla lueneburgensis (Northern Deep-brown Dart) supports divided opinion. DNA bar-coding suggests that we have only one species in Britain (which should be called lueneburgensis) and that this affects all of Western Europe, with A. lutulenta being an Eastern European species. It is recommended that voucher specimens are retained of all colour forms and from all geograhical areas for eventual molecular examination. This author (Colin Plant) is happy to act as a repository for such material.
