Morley’s Final Catalogue: …common in all our marshes, and occasionally at light.

Recent Status: Distributed across the county but local.

Life Style: A single brooded summer flying species that comes to light. The larvae are aquatic. They feed inside a stem on the pith and in later instars may construct a case to feed outside the stem.

Identification: Nymphula nitidulata has wings extensively marked with large white, brown outlined, blotches. On the forewing the sandy brown line on the termen is preceded by a bold wide complete band which distinguishes the species from the similar Elophila nymphaeata.
