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

Frequent on the larger dune systems including Whiteford, Broughton, Oxwich, Crymlyn Burrows, Margam and Kenfig. Rarely reported elsewhere. A pre-1917 record from Barry Island (GAB) may have been a wanderer from the English side of the Bristol Channel. Records show a protracted period of emergence from late May through to mid-September.
