Acrobasis repandana

(Fabricius, 1798)1436 / 62.034
=Conobathra repandana

Morley’s Final Catalogue: Not infrequent about oaks. Bentley Woods in July 1900 (Mly), bred thence in 1935 (Bp.) and common there in 1901 (Pyett); Ipswich (Ml); Orford in July 1902 Gibbs); Fritton Lake at light in early August 1935 (Mly, D.). Beaten from whitethorn hedges at Higham and Newmarket (Brown).

Recent Status: Recorded widely across Suffolk and an occasional immigrant.

Life Style: A single brooded species flying during summer and coming to light. The larvae feed from spun oak leaves reportedly during spring. The ova therefore pass the winter. Pupation takes place in early summer.

Identification: Acrobasis repandana is very similar to A. tumidana but lacks the raised red scales of that species. Somewhat darker than A. tumidana the colour bands are less sharply defined and the colours of the terminal third are stronger than in that species.
