Fenella nigrita WESTWOOD, 1839

Longniddry Bents, NT4376, leafmine in Agrimonia [8536], 15.vi.2002, 1 ♀ reared, leg. Bland, det. Liston.

Fenella nigrita is already listed as occurring in Scotland by Liston & Sheppard (in prep.), but the only known Scottish record, above, remained unpublished. The status of the two ‘foodplant races’ mentioned by Benson (1952) (one on Agrimonia eupatoria , the other on Potentilla reptans ) still requires investigation. Benson (1952) stated that “Both races are common in S. and S. E. England, but have not been noticed north of Notts.”
