Notes

Possibly two British species occur under this name: one mainly in the lowlands with hostplant Betula , the other montane with host Vaccinium . Whilst Pristiphora cincta seems to be the correct name for the more brightly coloured lowland taxon, until a revision is made of the numerous supposed synonyms of Pristiphora cincta , the name for the species on Vaccinium is unclear.
