49.183 Lobesia abscisana (Smoky-barred Marble)
ws: 10-13mm; bivoltine May-Jun, Jul-Aug; creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense); fairly common in S&SE England, more local elsewhere in England and Wales
Lobesia abscisana §1
ID: Characterised by the brown markings. There is some variation in extent of grey suffusion of the white ground colour. Piniphila bifasciana is somewhat similar but it has a pale ochreous subterminal area rather than the well-developed brown subterminal fascia of L.abscisana. The white band of ground colour between basal patch and median fascia is also much narrower in L.abscisana than in P.bifasciana
