Ethmia quadrillella
Comfrey Ermel
EthmiidaeABH 33.002 B&F 719Recorded in Cheddar Wood in 1917 and at the same site in 2000. These are the only county records. It is remarkable that the moth has not been found elsewhere; the foodplant (comfrey) is widespread in the county and there are plenty of superficially similar locations elsewhere in the Mendips.
