Agonopterix rotundella is a moth of the family Depressariidae and is found in most of Europe. It was first described from moths found in Surrey, England by the entomologist John Douglas in 1846.[1]

Life cycle

Imago

The wingspan is 14–17 mm. The forewings are rather narrow, pale greyish-ochreous, sometimes somewhat fuscous sprinkled posteriorly; subbasal mark of dorsum reduced to a dark fuscous dot; first discal stigma absent, a black dot obliquely before and above its usual position, second black dark fuscous terminal dots, sometimes indistinct. Hindwings whitish-grey, darker terminally. The larva is green; dorsal and subdorsal lines darker; head and plate of 2 black[2]

Adults are on wing from September to May, overwintering as an adult. [3]

Eggs

In Great Britain and Ireland, eggs are laid on the leaves of wild carrot (Daucus carota) during May.[1] Elsewhere in Europe eggs are also laid on Laserpitium gallicum and Distichoselinum tenuifolium.[4]

Larva

Larva can be found from June to August. Initially they mine the leaves of their host plant in the form of a small, irregular full depth corridor.[4] Older larvae vacate their mines and continue feeding in a folded leaf, sewn with white silk. The silk can often be seen at the edge of the habitation. Early instars are a dull yellowish green with a black head. On the later instars the body is apple green with dark greyish green lines and a black head.[3]

Similar species

The intermediate and later instars of A. ciliella feed on a variety of umbelliferous plants; larvae of this species and A. rotundella should be reared to confirm the identification.[5]

Pupa

Found in the soil or amongst detritus.[1]

Distribution

The moth is found in most of Europe, except Fennoscandia and most of the Balkan Peninsula.[6] In Britain, although the type species was found inland it is now confined to coasts. Also found in Iran and Turkey.[1]
