Distribution and Abundance:  Rare.

Primary Habitat:  Not specific.

Flight Period:  Not known.

Records:  14 October 2001 Moulton (P. Fuller).

Observations:  The only other possible county record appears on a list of captures for the years 1942 - 1946 prepared by Arthur Cooper, the Entomological Section secretary of the Kettering and District Natural History Society, presumably in 1947. The moth is stated as being on Northampton lists. The date of the record is shown as unknown, but having regard to earlier material it would have been between 1913 and 1946. It could be that there was some confusion with Flame Wainscot (S. flammea) that was not included on this list but present on Hull & Tomalin’s nineteenth century Northampton list.      

L.O.N.:  Unrecorded.

First Record:  Reported 1947, Cooper.
