Black-spot Sallow Pigmy Ectoedmia intimella - None. Although scarce, this is a widespread species in Norfolk so probably occurs round here. I've not found it yet, although I did gen det one that Geoff Turner caught at Weybourne in 2019.

New Poplar Pigmy Ectoedmia hannoverella - None recorded as being in 2019 or 2020 but in 2019 some emerged from leafmines I had collected from Lynford on 13th October 2018. From these mines, 3 males and 1 female emerged on 14th April with another female the following day. I had knowingly collected only 5 mines but a sixth moth resembling hannoverella appeared in my study on 21st April. Based on external appearance this should have been either hannoverella or turbidella and as the only poplar leaves I had collected were all from the same tree, it was presumably a hannoverella from an unseen second mine in one of those leaves. The genitalia weren't entirely clear as although from the top they resembled hannoverella, in side view the valvae showed a distinct tooth (but pointing the wrong way for turbidella).

Five-spot Pigmy Ectoedmia quinquella - An occupied mine at the meadows on 30th September 2019. I've not recorded this species at home yet, and no adults anywhere.

New Holm-Oak Pigmy Ectoedmia heringella - None. I've not found this species locally but it's widespread enough to be plausible.
White-banded Pigmy Ectoedmia albifacsciella - A female in my moth trap on 29th June 2019 was new for the garden.

Spotted Black Pigmy Ectoedmia subbimaculella - I've struggled identifying this species in the past but although their genitalia are rather similar to some other similar-looking species (or at least species that can look similar when worn) I think I've figured out where I was getting confused. Even so, I have left some 'probables' go as unrecorded to be on the safe side. Confirmed individuals trapped at home included singles on 24th June, 4th and 13th July and 2 on 26th July 2019, 26th June and 16th and 23rd July 2020. Also 2 at Weybourne on 5th July 2019 and 2 at the meadows on 23rd June 2020. This is possibly the commonest species of Neptulicid in my garden trap. Also occupied mines recorded at the meadows in October and November 2019.

White-spot Pigmy Ectoedmia heringi - occupied mines found at the meadows on 22nd and 27th October 2019. I'm yet to find an adult of this species.

Broken-barred Pigmy Ectoedmia angulifasciella - None. I've not come across this species yet but it looks like it's pretty widespread so it probably occurs locally.
Pinch-barred Pigmy Ectoedmia atricollis - None. I've not come across this species locally but it's another widespread species that probably occurs round here.
Large Birch Pigmy Ectoedmia occultella - None recorded as being in 2019 or 2020 but one emerged in 2019 from leafmines I had collected from Lynford on 13th October 2018.
