Distribution and Abundance: Scarce

Records: 19 August 1996 Northampton (P. Sharpe), 4 August 2006 Wellingborough (D. Larkin), 2 August 1992 Kettering (J. Ward) and
5 August 2009 Oundle (P. Horsnail).

Observations: Although no other significant migrants were included in the catch on 2 August 1992 the catch on 19 August 1996 also included The Gem (0. obstipata) and Small Mottled Willow (S. exigua). The Wellingborough moth was taken with a Bordered Straw (H. peltigera) but there does not seem to be any significant migration accompanying the capture of the Oundle moth.

First Record: 1992, Ward.
