Acleris comariana

(Lienig & Zeller, 1846)1039 / 49.065

General comments:
Local and rarely found.

Historically regarded as a pest of strawberries, but since examination of the genitalia is required to separate from A. laterana, which is widespread and very common here, that historic status is questioned. Modern records of confirmed comariana are very few indeed.

Determination by Genitalia Examination Required

Recorded in 9 (22%) of 41 10k Squares.
