About Lamoria anella (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775
Lamoria anella (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775 has a wingspan of 18–28 mm for males and 30–40 mm for females. Its head, thorax, and abdomen are greyish brown. The forewings are grey-brown, often fully suffused with red or fuscous. An indistinct, heavily dentate antemedial line is present on the forewings, along with a more or less developed speck in the cell and the discocellular spot. A heavily dentate postmedial line is sharply angled on vein 4 and is often reduced to streaks on the veins. A series of marginal specks is also present on the forewings. The hindwings are pale and semi-hyaline, suffused with fuscous toward the margin. This species is found in most of Europe, excluding Ireland, Great Britain, Fennoscandia, Denmark, the Baltic region and Slovenia. It is also found on the Canary Islands, in North Africa (including Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt), South Africa, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates. The first confirmed British record of this species was collected from a garden in Hartford, Huntingdonshire on 5 October 2018, where it was possibly occurring as a migrant.
