Parornix scoticella

(Stainton, 1850)305 / 15.030

General comments:
Most species of Parnornix can be named reliably from their larval mines but in cases of difficulty the adults should be reared through for examination. However, almost wild-caught adults will be worn, to at least some degree, and in most cases we will insist on genitalia examination to obtain the correct species name.

Although reports are widely spread across the two counties, the moth appears to be genuinely local and numerically scarce compared with other members of the genus.

Determination by Genitalia Examination Required
