Cydia conundrum

I trapped this Cydia last weekend and after studying my books and online references keep dithering between splendana and fagiglandana. Help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

    Definitely not Cydia conundrum, which I've never seen :-))

    A difficult one, as you say. I don't think the tornal area is dark enough for it to be splendana and as that's really the moth's main diagnostic feature I assume it must be fagiglandana.

    Agreed, that's fagiglandana
