2013 (CHF): A very rare species in the county or perhaps just difficult to identify. The tormentil-feeding Stigmella serella (mentioned in Sutton and Beaumont) is now thought to be a subspecies of the Salad Burnet feeding poterii. Stigmella aeneofasciella (not recorded in Yorkshire) also mines tormentil and cinquefoils and some sources say mines can also be confused with the two rose-mining Stigmella species, anomalella and centifoliella, so the situation is a bit tricky and the best advice is to breed mines through to the adult stage to be certain of the identification.
