Hi Greg,

Wondering if your Zeiraphera ratzenburgiana isn't Epinotia brunnichana ......

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Epinotia brunnichana is a much better match.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Steve,

Do the rest look OK ?

A nice selection Greg.

I would agree with your determinations, although the NMRS guidelines recommend that both Epinotia brunnichana & Anacampsis blatteriella should be confirmed by dissection.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the confirmations.

How shall I enter the Anacampsis blattariella in the records, if at all ?

Regards,
Greg

Use the aggregate 'Micro sp.' when inputting both Anacampsis blattariella & Epinotia brunnichana, with their names in the comments field

Steve
