The Mallow (Larentia clavaria)

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

Univoltine, flying from late August to mid October. Fairly regular on west Gower, where it feeds on the extensive stands of Marsh-mallow, but elsewhere this species is very scarce with only two modern records from the Cardiff area.
