1071 Celypha (Argyroploce) arbutella L. Dovercourt, 7 August 1997 (C. Gibson det. K.R.
Tuck). A species resident in Scotland and Ireland, there are two old and unconfirmed English
records so this may well be new to England. Its presence in Dovercourt may be the result of
ship-borne assistance from the ports of Harwich or Felixstowe, or as a genuine migrant from
Scandinavia from which the prevailing wind had been blowing for several days (Gibson, C.
pers. comm). The specimen was taken to The Natural History Museum, London by J.B. Fisher
where K.R. Tuck made the determination. New to Essex. 1 DBR
1171 Gypsonoma minutana Hb. Dovercourt, 7 August (C. Gibson det. B. Goodey). First north

1266a Cydia illutana H.-S. Coggeshall, Markshall Estate, a female, 31 May 1997 (B. Goodey
det. K.R. Tuck). Another moth submitted to Tuck at The Natural History Museum, London.
There arc very few British specimens of this poorly-known species, which may be associated
with Larix decidua, but it is easily overlooked and likely to be resident in the county. Tuck is to
preparing an account of its capture together with a diagram of the genitalia which should aid
further recording. New to Essex. 1 DBR
