About Chrysocrambus linetella Fabricius, 1781

Chrysocrambus linetella, first described by Fabricius in 1781, has a wingspan of 20–27 mm. The upper surface of its forewings is primarily whitish, marked with several longitudinal brown lines and two transverse brown lines. This species is very similar in appearance to Chrysocrambus craterella, but can be distinguished by the less curved shape of its median line, and the absence of a double soft brown line at the apex of the forewings. It may also be easily misidentified as Thisanotia chrysonuchella. This species is distributed across Great Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Transcaucasia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, and Turkmenistan.
