  Status: Resident/Possible vagrant/Accidental.

Distribution and Abundance: Rare.

Primary Habitat: Wetland.

Flight Period: Recorded in August.

Record: 29 August 2005 Kingsthorpe (P. Sharpe).

Observations: The moth was taken in a garden light trap near to the River Nene. Although marsh bedstraw, the larval food plant, was found growing nearby until more sightings of the species are found there must be a possibility that the moth was a vagrant.
