Cochylis flaviciliana, the gold-fringed conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Westwood in 1854. It is found in most of Europe (except Portugal, most of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine) [2] and north-western Africa. [3] The habitat consists of chalky grasslands.

The wingspan is 10–17 mm. The forewings are contrasting rose-pink and cream-white. [4] It differs from Cochylis roseana as follows : forewings with ground - colour ochreous whitish, cilia ferruginous-yellow, without dark fuscous line. The larva varies from dull green to reddish-brown head and plate of 2 brown. [5] Julius von Kennel provides a full description. [6]

Adults are on wing in May and again from late June to August in two generations per year. [7]

The larvae feed on Knautia arvensis and Scabiosa species. They feed in the seedheads of their host plant. Larvae can be found from July to October, they then spin a cocoon on the ground amongst detritus where they hibernate before pupation takes place in spring. [8]
