- easy to identify, generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species.ID pointers: Appearing like a minor species. There is a black streak at the base of the forewing and a short diagonal one close by, along with overall grey colouring is diagnostic. The whitish-grey form, shown in below image is most frequent. Can show pinkish tones on leading edge and around oval and kidney marks.
Distribution: (Last record: 16/07/2024 at Mellor ) - An uncommon and locally distributed species in Derbyshire, of wet and damp habitats. With only two records reported from the high NW of the county in 2019, and the species appearing not to have been reviewed in any literature since 1986, it is difficult to know the current status in the county.
