Psychidae
Diplodoma herminata (Geoffroy) - The eggs are laid singly in cracks in bark; the larvae feed
on decaying leaves, fungi, dead insects and moss or lichen growing at the base of
trees or stumps, or under loose bark; larva in a hard triangular inner case enclosed in a
shorter soft case covered with detritus, fragments of dead insects, etc. Usually living 2
years; pupates in case attached low down to a trunk or stump. Locally not uncommon
in wooded areas throughout Britain.
Tineidae
Morophaga choragella (D. & S.) - The larvae feed in galleries excavated within the fruiting
bodies of various wood-rotting fungi, especially Inonotus and Ganoderma spp,
pupating either in the fungus or in deadwood. In open wood pastures as well as dense
woodland. Very local in southern England, extending from Kent to Dorset and
Herefordshire, with a thin scatter of old records northwards to Northumberland.
Nemapogon granella (Linaeus) - Corn Moth. Larvae most often encountered feeding on
stored vegetable products, but also feed on dry-rot fungus and, out-of-doors, on the
fruiting bodies of various wood-rotting fungi. A localised species, but reported
widely and as far north as Inverness - distributional differences between wild sites and
indoor populations are not clear at present.
Nemapogon cloacella (Haworth) - Cork Moth. The larvae are most frequently found feeding
on bracket-fungi, especially birch polypore Piptoporus betulinus and on callus tissue
around tree wounds; also reared from Hypoxylon multiforme on birch; more rarely on
stored products. Common in woods and in areas with much dead wood; throughout
Britain.
Nemapogon inconditella (Lucas) - The only known British record is of one found in S. Devon
in 1979, but it is thought to be a resident. It has been reared on the Continent from the
bracket fungus Trametes versicolor.
Nemapogon wolffiella Karsholt & Nielsen - Nationally Scarce B. Has been reared from the
fruiting bodies of the wood-decay fungus Hypoxylon multiforme developing on
deadwood of birch. Very local in wooded localities from Devon to Kent to Cumbria.
Nemapogon variatella (Clemens) = N. personella. Larvae develop in fruiting bodies of woodrotting
fungi, and occasionally in stored vegetable products. Mainly reported from the
London area, but also Brighton and Moccas Park.
Nemapogon ruricolella (Stainton)* - Nationally Scarce B. Larvae develop in fruiting bodies
of wood-rotting fungi. A local species in southern England and more common in the
west. Also reported from SW Ireland, and old records from North Wales and
Northern England.
Nemapogon clematella (Fabricius)* - Nationally Scarce B. Larvae reputedly develop in
wood-rotting fungi of various broadleaves, although Diatrype disciformis in dead
hazel poles may be primary larval habitat. Has been reared from the fruiting bodies of
the wood-decay fungus Hypoxylon multiforme developing on deadwood of birch.
Locally common from Kent and Cornwall to Cumbria; one old Scottish record and
reported from Ireland.
Nemapogon picarella (Clerck) - pRDB1. The larva develops in bracket fungi, especially
birch polypore Piptoporus betulinus, and bores into the adjacent wood. Uncommon; a
northern and western species in Britain but not reported from Ireland. Most records
come from the Durham area and the Scottish Highlands.
Archinemapogon yildizae Kocak - Nationally Scarce B. A Scottish speciality, the larvae
developing in bracket fungi on birch - Piptoporus betulinus and Fomes fomentarius,
and when in the latter normally in association with the beetle Bolitophagus
