Ypsolopha sylvella
(Linnaeus, 1767)459 / 17.009

General comments:
Widespread but local, limited by habitat availability. It is an oak woodland inhabitant that often ignores light traps and so is likely to be under-recorded.

Recorded in 20 (49%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2022.
