ID pointers: Although the largest, it can be confused with other Cnephasia – Has a dark ground colour and dark grey fascia. The large size alone cannot enable it to be identified. Please record as Cnephasia agg. or determine by Gen. Det.
Distribution: A widespread and common species but due to similarities with other Cnephasia species it requires a Gen Det and so this may be a reason for accurate status. One 100% record from 10th July 2022 – Hathersage – Gen Det completed.
