The species is brown; its thorax is brown while the forewings are greyish brown. The head is white with inward-oblique and narrowed fascia which is 3/4 in length.

The male's cacullus is slender and slightly narrowed, with broader and rounded tip. Their sacculus is tapped gradually, but is slightly bent. The apex is blunt, reaching sometimes beyond the top of cacullus. Their body also have small anellus lobes, which are clavate. The aedeagus have three carnuti, which are of the same length. The left part is broad, and is also covered and hooked with microspicules. The middle part is bifurcate, and the last one is slender and a bit pointy, with a little distal hook. [2]
The female's posterior edge is distinct and U-shaped. The vigina of the sinus is funnel shaped, and is wider than the width of the ductus bursae. Their ductus seminalis is small and oval shaped, and is placed next to the posterior part of doctus borsae. [2]
The species is similar to Mompha bradleyi , Mompha confusella , and Mompha subdivisella . [2]
The larvae feed on willowherbs ( Epilobium ) species, including broad-leaved willowherb ( Epilobium montanum ), marsh willowherb ( Epilobium palustre ), hoary willowherb ( Epilobium parviflorum ), and spear-leaved willowherb ( Epilobium lanceolatum ). They have also been recorded on Epilobium alpinum and rosebay willowherb ( Chamaenerion angustifolium ).
In Finland, the species feeds on fringed willowherb ( Epilobium adenocaulon ). [2]

This species is native to much of North America, southern South America, and East Asia. It is an introduced species in much of Eurasia and Australia.

Helophilus lapponicus, the Yellow-margined Marsh Fly, is a common species of syrphid fly observed across northern North America, northern Europe, Greenland and Siberia. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. Though common the larvae of this species are not known but the larvae of other species in this genus are associated with wet decaying organic material, particularly accumulations of decaying vegetation in ponds and mud and are a so called rat-tailed type.
Cheverella is a monotypic genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It contains only one species, Cheverella galapagensis, which is endemic to the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. Both the genus and the species were first described by Bernard Landry in 2011. The genus is placed in the tribe Udeini.
Phalonidia udana, or the loosestrife conch, is a European species of moth of the family Tortricidae, the subfamily Tortricinae, and the tribe Cochylini. It is widely distributed in the North Palaearctic but appears to be largely rare or missing in Central Europe. Previously, it was classified under the Phalonidia manniana taxon, but a recent effort to barcode all North European Lepidoptera revealed that P. udana and P. mannania are two distinct species.
