Yorkshire Status: Local resident.

This is a local species in the county, with most records from the south and east. There are no records from VC64 or 65. Nearly all of our records are of the characteristic long thin larval cases which are triangular in cross section and covered with granular material with particles of dead insects at the fore end. Occasional males turn up in light traps, females being wingless. Cases have been seen on the trunks of oak, birch and sycamore.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Very locally abundant.
