Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

Univoltine, flying from June to August usually in woodland, however Kenfig NNR and it surroundings appear to be the stronghold for the species in the county, accounting for a third of the records. It has also been found in woodland to the north of Cardiff, in the Vale of Glamorgan and on Gower but is apparently absent from northern districts.
