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

Univoltine, flying from mid June to July on Buckthorn. It was rediscovered in Glamorgan at Wick in 1972 after a period of some 80 years, but still remains a very localised species. All of the modern records come from the Gower Peninsular except one from Lavernock Point in 2002 which may suggest the presence of a colony.
