Epinotia caprana

(Fabricius, 1798)1154 / 49.229

Morley’s Final Catalogue: Apparently rare, or overlooked, among sallow. A Single example at Tuddenham, in the Breck fens, during 1910 (Nurse, Entom. 1911, 221) and one female at Monks Soham light in mid-August 1935 (Mly).

Recent Status: A rare species in Suffolk.

Life Style: A single brooded species flying from July till September. The larvae feed in spun terminal leaves of Salix. They pupate on the ground.

Identification: This is one of the larger and very variable Epinotia species. It has distinctive forms that possess more and larger pale areas that related species but there are also forms that are very similar to E. brunnichana and genitalia dissection must then be used to identify the species for these specimens.
