Ancylis obtusana

Ancylis obtusana, the small buckthorn roller, is a moth of the family Tortricidae.

[1] This species is present in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, and in the Near East.

[2] These moths inhabit marginal areas of forests where host plants grow.

Meyrick describes it - Forewings ferruginous, costa with dark fuscous and whitish strigidae; basal patch dark ferruginous-brown except towards costa, edge rounded, very oblique, reaching beyond middle of dorsum, followed by a grey-whitish stria broadly enlarged on costa; central fascia dark ferruginous-brown, with strong posterior median projection, not reaching dorsum; costal area beyond this dark ferruginous; ocellus small, broadly edged with leaden- metallic.

[4] Julius von Kennel provides a full description.
