Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Ian Kimber Family   Noctuidae Sub Family   Herminiinae Description   a sub-family of the Noctuidae Background to Family   The host choices of the 'fan-foots' are uncertain for some species. Pechipogo, Zanclognatha, and Herminia are all associated with the withered or fallen leaves of various broadleaved trees or bramble, in situations with plenty of vegetation cover. Macrochilo lives in the stems of wood-sedge (Carex sylvatica) and wood-rushes (Luzula), where it also feeds on the leaves.     No. taxa in DBIF   _ No. interactions   _ % interactions with British data   _ No. records   _ % taxa with British data   _ Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, new species to the British list, new interactions, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
