Aethes francillana, the long-barred yellow conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. It is found in almost all of Europe, from north-western Africa to Afghanistan and Dzungarian Alatau in Central Asia. It is also found in the Ural Mountains, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, western Siberia, Asia Minor and Iran. [3] The habitat consists of rough grassland, particularly chalk downland and coastal areas.

The wingspan is 13–18 millimetres (0.51–0.71 in). [4] The forewings are pale yellow. The costal edge is ferruginous on anterior half and there are two slender somewhat irregular dark ferruginous fasciae parallel to the termen - the first before middle, often narrowly interrupted near costa, the second subterminal. The hindwings are pale grey. The larva is yellow - whitish; head black; plate of 2 brownish - tinged. [5] Julius von Kennel provides a full description. [6]

Adults are on wing from late June to early September. [7]

The larvae feed on the seeds of Eryngium campestre , Daucus , Pastinaca , Peucedanum , Angelica sylvestris , Elaeoselinum meoides , Crithmum maritimum , Astydamia canariensis and Ferula communis . They live between the flowers of their host plant, spinning the heads together with silk. [8]
