A supposedly common species across the British Isles but in our region this is a rare moth. There are post-millennium sightings from all three counties but only a handful altogether. It is quite variable and less well-marked specimens can easily be confused with poorly marked examples of Epinotia sordidana or Epinotia solandriana.
