Yorkshire Status: Uncommon and thinly distributed or restricted resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Quite widely captured at light but not common. There are relatively few recent records of larvae or pupae, possibly reflecting the heavy emphasis on light traps today.

Recorded in 131 (66%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1846.
Last Recorded in 2022.
