03 Jul 1913 Rostherne Mere SJ7484 Adult 1 Acidalia straminata f.circellata. exibited at the Lancs & Ches Ent Soc 20/4/1914, The Entom. 47:208, grid reference not provided. Mansbridge (1940), Smith (1948). This is a further example of the survival of a mossland species. This form, once thought to be a separate species, Ochreous Wave, occurred at Chat Moss where it has long been extinct, is found near Delamere together with the typical form. R.S.Edleston recorded this species from Bowdon in the 1850's and, as it is known that Edleston was often purposely vague about precise localities, it is possible that this record relates to Rostherne. This record was queried and considered incorrect/dubious record by Butterfly Conservation during atlas verification (2018) but re-instated in 2022 following further research.
