Diagnosis
. This species is similar to
Agnoea digitiella
in external appearance but differs from the latter in having the larger size (forewing length
8.5–9.6 mm
) and the longer saccular extension in the male genitalia (
Fig. 8
).

Distribution
.

, Europe.
Bionomics
. The larvae feed on the dead leaves of
Carpinus
,
Fagus
,
Populus
,
Quercus
, and
Vaccinium
(
Toll, 1964
;
Harper
et al.
, 2002
). They carry a case composed of the dead leaves. It is known in Europe that the larval stage lasts two years (
Jäckh 1959
).
Remarks
.
Koo
et al
. (2021)
reported this species for the first time from
Korea
. Our specimens of
A. josephinae
show some differences in the male genitalia from the ones illustrated in
Koo
et al
. (2021)
. Systematic value of those differences needs to be critically reviewed with COI barcodes.
