Oegoconia sp.

Oegoconia species are small moths which are always causing a lot of confusion. For a very long time it was believed to be just one species, but later there turned out to be more, all extremely similar. In Holland there are two species, we do not know the current situation in Britain. Oegoconia species can be told apart only after genital examination. As we didn't do that on this one, we can't tell you which species it is. Even the name of the family Oegoconia species belong to is complicated. Some say it is a member of the family Autostichidae, others claim it belongs to the Blastobasidae.
