- difficult to identify - detailed examination required, often a Gen Det and/or specimen and quality photographs are required. ID pointers: Very similar to C. alchimiella, shorter and less clearly defined yellow blotch on the forewing. Only reliably separated by dissection.
Distribution: (First record: 04/10/2001 ) - (Last record: 09/05/2020 at Findern ) - 1st county record 4th Oct 2001 – very few records. This species needs to be recorded as aggregate Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella if uncertain.
