ID pointers: Forewing is a dark chocolate brown with a broad white fascia at about a half and not quiet touching the costa. A white bar from the costa edge protruding slightly into forewing at about two thirds. Fairly distinctive.
Distribution: (Last record: 2009 at Foremark Reservoir ) - A scarce autumn migrant from the tropics. First recorded from Surrey in 1951, since small numbers of records each year, mainly from south, south west and east coastal sites, have been recorded.
Two accounts of the species in the recording area. DaNES Journal 169, 2019 – The first record for VC57 & Derbyshire was from Sawley – 20/5/1988 & a 2nd from Foremark Reservoir, one flushed up out of vegetation some way from the water margin 25/10/2009.
