Host information.

Depressariidae: type reared from Agonopterix nervosa (Haworth, 1811); also Agonopterix umbellana (Fabricius, 1794).

Notes.

This species was very recently described from Britain (Shaw 2023) and German specimens were compared morphologically with the description. Our sequences 100% match the sequences of two paratypes reared from Agonopterix nervosa (MRS_JFT0801, MRS_JFT0802). This species is illustrated in Fig. 33.
