(sans ref.) presumably of about 1860, showing it to have then occurred pretty freely at Nayland Stoke. It is a fens species and has later been noted only at Brandon staunch among osiers, where a dozen males were sunning themselves upon the midrib of nettle-leaves, flying to and fro, on 22 June 1928 (Elliott, Mly). Also it occurs at Horning, Norfolk. Wingspan details : Forewing 9-11mm, Wingspan 18-26mm Identification
