Catoptria pinella (Grass Moth sp.)

Description:

Catoptria pinella (wingspan: 22-29 mm) is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.
It is found in Europe.
Catoptria pinella looks very similar to Catoptria permutatellus (in Dutch: Brede Vlakjesmot) and Catoptria osthelderi (in Dutch: Smalle Vlakjesmot) but Catoptria pinella has no narrow white transverse band on the wing directly behind the 2nd white spot; the other two do have that white transverse band.
Catoptria permutatellus en Catoptria osthelderi can only be distinguished from each other by microscopic research of the genitalia.
