Classification

Class
Insecta

Metalampra italica is a moth of the family Oecophoridae that was until recently considered endemic to Italy, from which it was originally described in 1977 by Giorgio Baldizzone, but that is now also known to occur in other European countries. Distribution Although Fauna Europaea mentioned the species only from Italy as recent as 2013, it is clear that the species has been present further north much earlier. In 2003, the species was discovered in Devon, after which the species has also been encountered in multiple other counties in the south of England and Wales.
