Yorkshire Status: Scarce and local resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: As with most Eupithecia species this is probably under-recorded. However, it is probably fairly common wherever wild toadflax is established on wasteground, railway embankments and similar areas in all five vice-counties, especially in the south and east.

2012 (CHF): Rather local in the county with a patchy distribution. It has declined a little in numbers recently. Often confused with the commoner Foxglove Pug which tends to fly earlier.

Recorded in 73 (37%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1883.
Last Recorded in 2023.
