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

Flying in June and July. Not recorded in Glamorgan until June 1997 when it was discovered at Llanwonno. Since then it has only been found on four occasions at Twynau Gwynion, Aberdare and around Craig-y-Llyn. Both of these sites are over 400m - indeed Craig-y-Llyn is over 600m. This species is probably under-recorded due to the inaccessibility of [the] suitable habitat in Glamorgan.
