Wingspan 18–22 mm , ground colour variable, e.g. pale greyish, pale yellowish, reddish brown, dark brown. Dark scales irregularly interspersed, number varying from nearly absent to rather dense. Oblique pair of dots at 1/3 ( Fig. 1C ) and pair of dots at 1/2 ( Fig. 1E ) present, usually all accompanied with white scales especially on outer margin, diffuse dark spot ( Fig. 1D ) present. Basal field ( Fig. 1B ) markedly paler than ground colour of forewing, divided from ground colour by a narrow dark line in rear half, confluent with ground colour in front Fig. 2 : A. scopariella , Madeira, Santo da Serra, 15.v.1967, e. l.

Outer magin (termen, Fig. 1F ) concave or at least straight, but not convex. Diagnosis : Similar to A. conciliatella , for details see there. A. subpropinquella (not found in Madeira ), a species frequently confused with A. scopariella , has no white scales in the forewing dots and a much less distinct basal field. For genitalia differences of A. scopariella and A. conciliatella see paragraph “diagnosis” under the next species. Bionomics : Larvae on Fabaceae , e.g. Cytisus scopa- rius (L.) Link. Distribution : A widespread and in the Mediterranian area a very common species. Remarks : A. scopariella is the only species of Depressariinae which is common in Madeira . It was first recorded by CARVALHO (1995: 563) , but most earlier records of ‘ Depressaria ’ conciliatella by e.g. WALSINGHAM (1894: 546) refer to A. scopariella .
