Yorkshire Status: Scarce and local resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Widely distributed and although less frequent than formerly is still quite common but not recorded from VC65. There is a possibility that some of the published records may refer to T. dubiella (Stainton) which has not been recorded in Yorkshire.

2014 (CHF): Still widespread across the county but quite local. Most records are indoors though it can come to light. If in any doubt, identification should be confirmed by dissection as there are other similar-looking species.
