Cochylis flaviciliana, the gold-fringed conch, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Westwood in 1854. It is found in most of Europe (except Portugal, most of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine)[2] and north-western Africa.[3] The habitat consists of chalky grasslands.
The wingspan is 10–17 mm. The forewings are contrasting rose-pink and cream-white.[4] Adults are on wing in May and again from late June to August in two generations per year.[5]
The larvae feed on Knautia arvensis and Scabiosa species. They feed in the seedheads of their host plant. Larvae can be found from July to October, they then spin a cocoon on the ground amongst detritus where they hibernate before pupation takes place in spring.[6]
