| | | Which scopariinae?
I find this group very difficult. It looks too pale for Eudonia mercurella, which is the commonest one I see. I wondered about Dipleurina lacustrata ? Wingspan 18mm.
Thanks

I feel pretty certain about this now because the broad white subterminal line is interrupted in the middle, and because of the paler central part of the wing.

Thanks Peter
How do you tell the difference ? I spent ages trying to work it out from Goater & I still get it wrong 
I didn't find UK Moths or Hants Moths helpful either.

I can see what you mean, although looking at numerous photos of D.lacustrata to me it looks more like a X with the outer half almost closed ( more like a normal or backwards C really ).
What confused me is that Goater in British Pyralid Moths says the discal spot is X shaped in D.lacustrata !
All very interesting
