Abroad the species is local in central and southern Europe(where its foodplants are stated to be Pruniis spinosa and Crataegusmonogyna), its range extending thence to Turkmeniya in It is also recorded from Oregon, , where it wasbred from Cotoneaster horizontalis. Note: A Cotoneastcr in mygarden shows much evidence of larval feeding, the work I suspectof A. rancidella. However, I hope shortly to be able to confirm thisand to report my findings in the pages of this journal. 24 ENTOMOLOGISTS RECORD, VOL. 97 A. rancidella should be placed between A. tetrapunctella A. mouffetella L. in Bradley, Fletcher & Hall-Smith (1979-83),and numbered 76 la accordingly. The synonymy, after Leraut (1980),reads: A. rancidella , 1854-jnaromaea Muhlig, lS64;vepretellaZell., 1870; superfetella H. de Peyerimhoff, 1877; cotoneastriBusck, 1934-Jriatomea, error; cerasivorella Kuznetzov, 1960.
