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

Only six specimens have been confirmed by genitalia examination, these were taken between 1952 and 2004 at Darren Park, Pontypridd, North Cornelly, Kenfig and Margam (all det. DJS). These records, together with a number of provisional identifications based on external characters, indicate that this species is probably restricted to a range of coastal and upland habitats.
