Current status (HEB, 2011): First found in Britain in the London area in 1990, this plane mining species has since spread at a steady pace. The first county records were from adjacent localities in York (VC62 and 61) in 2007 with further records from Hull (VC61) in 2008 and from Doncaster (VC63) in 2009. Likely to be found more widely in the future, mainly in suburban or parkland areas where the host tree has been planted.

Argus 66, 2012: Since the first occurrence in 2007 this moth has slowly spread, previous records are from vice-counties 61-63.
