Yorkshire Status: Local resident.

The two Cedestis species are equally common in Yorkshire, though this has not always been the case. Porritt in 1883 found C. subfasciella "abundant amongst firs everywhere" and did not mention C. gysseleniella which seems not to have been recorded until 1913, and we did not have records from all five vice-counties until 1991. The two species should be easily separable when fresh. C. gysseleniella has two pale golden coloured crossbands which can sometimes merge to form a larger golden area. C. subfasciella is smaller and browner, with a white chevron-shaped fascia between the two brown areas. Larvae of C. gysseleniella mine pine needles towards the tip whereas those of G. subfascialla mine towards the base.
