Coleophora saxicolella

Duponchel, 1843565 / 37.083

General comments:
All of the Coleophora species in our area are under-recorded; naming most requires either finding the larvae or dissecting the genitalia of the adults (or both!). For this reason, notes made here are deliberately short, but will be updated on a species by species basis as information surfaces.

Local, but not uncommon. On Orache and Goosefoot (Chenopodiacea). Baraud (1903) records 'Coleophora annulatella (laripennella) taken by Mr Gibbs in August' [1902]. Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland, volume 2 (1996) has both annulatella of Nylander and laripennella of Zetterstedt as synonyms of saxicolella. They also mention that annulatella of Nylander & Tengstrom is a synonym of vestianlella and not the present species.

Determination by Genitalia Examination Required

Case: A good quality photo or specimen of the case and plant/pabulum and gen. det. of bred moth is required.
