Yorkshire Status: Very rare wanderer or possibly resident

Formerly Melissoblaptes zelleri

Argus 66, 2012: A very local moth nationally, restricted to south-east England. Presumably a wandering individual, this is the most northerly British record.

VC61. Spurn NNR, 21.7.2012 (BRS). NEW COUNTY RECORD.

Argus 69, 2013: The first Yorkshire record was of a single moth in 2012, thought to be of a wandering individual from further south. That three further moths have occurred in the same area is intriguing.

Recorded in 4 (2%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 2012.
Last Recorded in 2023.
