Celypha striana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is the type species of its genus Celypha. This species prefers open grassy habitats, rough meadows and roadsides. The wingspan is 16–22 mm. This species is very variable in color. Usually the basic color of the forewings is light ochreous, finely reticulated dark brown. In the middle of the forewings there is a strongly developed transverse darker brown band and brown markings on the outer edge. The hindwings are gray or pale brown. Julius von Kennel provides a full description.
These moths fly from late May to late September. [1]. The males are active by day and from dusk onwards, while females fly only from dusk. They are attracted to light. The larvae feed on the roots of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). They pupate in a cocoon and hibernate.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Marble sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 505th most-seen of the 1406 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Marble in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among Vienna's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Barred Marble sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
10th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Barred Marble sightings, Vienna ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in London (United Kingdom, about 10%), Liverpool (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Helsinki (Finland, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Barred Marble is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (26 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
