Tawny-barred Angle
Macaria liturata
Species account (old)
Robson stated that this was 'a rare species in our district'. He would not have said that now. With the increase in the activities of the Forestry Commission in planting conifers on a large scale, the moth has become plentiful in every pine plantation, and would now be designated common and widespread. We have a very long list of records. A melanic form occurs rarely in some of the plantations.
