Roath Central Cardiff

A few good catches, but none near to 90 sp. mark. Highlights have been Red-barred Tortrix, Coronet, Dingy Shears,  Cyclamen Tortrix & a Small Ranunculus (20th rec. & earliest by 1 day)….and more Yellow-spot Tortrix!

  1. What is Yellow-spot Tortrix?

  2. Isn't that the common name for P conwagana?

  3. Is it? Fair enough - I'm well up on common names for micros.

  4. It is easier to spell that Pseudargyrotoza, I'll give them that.

  5. I'd been wondering about that too! Didn't realise conwagana had a common name.

  6. I knew the common name would catch on, quite a few moth groups do use them - the more sensible ones that is. My Latin isn't really up to some of the names given here. The P. aeriferanus is Larch Tortrix & P. fusca is Brown Knot-horn by the way.

  7. But Pyla fusca isn't brown...

  8. Dave, Yes I agree, but I don't name them.
