Nematopogon magna is a moth of the Adelidae family. It is found in Ireland, Great Britain, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Fennoscandia, the Baltic region and northern Russia. [1]
The wingspan is 17–18 mm. [2] The mid brown (darker than other Nematopogon) forewing is reticulated.It may resemble Nematopogon robertellus , but is often slightly larger and darker. To certainly determine the species of the genus Nematopogon dissection and study of the genitalia is necessary. The antennae are wire-shaped and yellowish, in the male about two and a half times as long as the forewing, in the female about twice as long. The head is clasped with yellow, protruding, hair-like shells. The forewing is dark grey-brown, in the outer part with a clear mesh pattern. The hindwing is grey. External image [3] [4] [5]
