Distribution and Abundance: Local.

Primary Habitat:  Wetland.

Flight Period:  Single brooded from June to August.

Localities: Yardley Chase, Pitsford Reservoir, Deenethorpe Airfield and Easton Hornstocks.

Observations: The larval workings are common in old sallows in many places in the county suggesting that the species is under recorded. The record from Deenethorpe Airfield is of a pair found in cop. on 12 July 1996 after a systematic search of all of the old mined sallows on the airfield. The moths were resting very conspicuously in the sun on the trunk of one of the last sallows to be searched.

L.O.N.: Undated. Burton Latimer and Wadenhoe. In osier beds.

First Record: 1902, Victoria County History.
