The series of annual compilations of remarkable records of Microlepidoptera is continued
for the 32nd year.

The weather in the main collecting season was mostly rainy resulting in
poor collecting and probably also in low population numbers. Especially many miners
were not to be seen. Also immigrants were few.

In spite of this six species are reported new to Sweden, two of them through splitting of well-known species, Acleris stettinensis (Leraut 2003) and Eucosma fulvana (Stephens 1834).

Other new residents are Lampronia standfussiella (Zeller 1839), Tinea steueri G. Petersen 1966 and Clepsis nybomi (Hackman 1950).

The first specimen of the immigrant Antigastra catalaunalis (Duponchel 1833) was collected.

Regrettably, Cnephasia alticolana must be deleted from the Swedish list because of
misidentification.

At present 1694 species of Microlepidoptera are known from Sweden.
