156 BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 7: 1994 



Hibernated moths have been seen on the wing in the middle of June, and so far these 

 have all proved to be females. M. divisella is probably univoltine; the imagines 

 appearing earlier in July and August and then hibernating through to the following 

 spring. It is difficult to separate the adults of either species on macroscopic criteria 

 reliably, and even the female genitalia of both are very similar and variable. The male 

 genitalia however do show reliable and consistent features separating the two species. 

 Mr J. C. Koster of the Netherlands, suggested that these bred moths might be M. 

 bradley Reidl and confirmed their identity.
