Yorkshire Status: Unknown

We only have one record of this species, as Asynchna modestella, in H.T. Stainton's "A Manual of British Butterflies and Moths" in 1859, when he lists "York" as a site. Porritt accepted this in his 1883 list and Sutton and Beaumont list it in 1989 without comment. MBGBI Vol 3 however in 1996, say that this record is unconfirmed and well outside the recognised range, so they did not map it. This seems a fair comment, as the nearest record is many miles to our south, so it should be regarded as unconfirmed.

	Case: A good quality photo or specimen of the case and plant/pabulum is required.
