– Rare / Uncommon / Scarce
– care required in the identification process, as confusion with similar species is likely – quality photographs required. ID pointers: An obvious contrast between the dark brown cross-band and paler brown basal area with the cream band across the trailing edge to the forewing. There are also two “tooth-like” projections piercing the cream band. There is also some greenish scaling to the basal area which helps to confirm the ID.
Distribution: (First record: 9 August 2007 at Frogatt ) – (Last record: 31 July 2025 at Bamford ) – Hathersage – First recorded in Derbyshire 9th August 2007 at Froggatt, North Derbyshire. The second record was of 3 specimens at an MV Light Trap at Darley Dale on 25th July 2008, some 10km from the first record at Froggatt. The third county record was July 2010 also at Darley Dale. Maybe some small populations are becoming established in the county along the Derwent Valley.

Bedrock Geology ** indirectly affects moth distribution by influencing the type of habitat and food plants available in an area. In turn, this may affect the types of moths that can thrive, or where they can most likely be found.
