Agonopterix rotundella is a moth of the family Depressariidae and is found in most of Europe. It was first described from moths found in Surrey, England by the entomologist John Douglas in 1846. [2]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm. The forewings are rather narrow, pale greyish-ochreous, sometimes somewhat fuscous sprinkled posteriorly; subbasal mark of dorsum reduced to a dark fuscous dot; first discal stigma absent, a black dot obliquely before and above its usual position, second black dark fuscous terminal dots, sometimes indistinct. Hindwings whitish-grey, darker terminally. The larva is green; dorsal and subdorsal lines darker; head and plate of 2 black [3]
Adults are on wing from September to May, overwintering as an adult. [4]
In Great Britain and Ireland, eggs are laid on the leaves of wild carrot ( Daucus carota ) during May. [2] Elsewhere in Europe eggs are also laid on Laserpitium gallicum and Distichoselinum tenuifolium . [5]
The intermediate and later instars of A. ciliella feed on a variety of umbelliferous plants; larvae of this species and A. rotundella should be reared to confirm the identification. [6]
Found in the soil or amongst detritus. [2]
The moth is found in most of Europe, except Fennoscandia and most of the Balkan Peninsula. [1] In Britain, although the type species was found inland it is now confined to coasts. Also found in Iran and Turkey. [2]
