Abstract
An account is given of the discovery of Infurcitinea captans Gozmány, 1960, new to the British Isles and of the previously unknown larva, in Cornwall, England. Larvae feed on leaflitter under dwarf shrubs in maritime heathland. Descriptions and illustrations are provided of the larva, cocoon, exuviae, adult and genitalia of both sexes. It is compared with the macroscopically similar Infurcitinea albicomella (Stainton, 1851), and the distribution of both species in the British Isles is discussed.
