SUMMARY Observations in cherry and plum orchards in England confirm that, as on the continent of Europe, Argyresthia pruniella (Clerck) and not A. curvella (L.) is associated with these crops. The pest status of A. curvella on cherry, therefore, should no longer apply and in its place A. pruniella should be designated the cherry fruit moth.
