Observations: Following the observations mentioned below from around the turn of the last century there were no further records until the 1960’s when a moth was taken at Peterborough. Due to its small size the moth is easily overlooked and this factor probably accounts for this lengthy gap between records rather than its absence in this period. In more recent times perhaps a sharper lookout has been maintained for the species and its true distribution within the county has been better established.

L.O.N.: Undated. Near Wansford. At sugar and light. Not uncommon.

First Record: 1905, Wansford, Slater.
