Last modified: Jan. 18, 2024, 1:11 p.m.


A new species for Belgium in 2019 in LG. Hitherto a very rare and local species.
For a certain identification, study of the genitalia is necessary, especially because of its resemblance with Sorhagenia rhamniella and Sorhagenia janiszewskae , living on the same foodplants.
