Davey, P., 2009: A widespread species in southern Britain but restricted in the north to the Lake District and western Scotland, the larval foodplant is unknown. In Dorset, the moth is locally frequent in the wettest parts of the Poole Basin, and at low density elsewhere in damp situations. A candidate potential host foodplant might be rush (Juncus spp.). The species is double-brooded in Dorset.
