Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland and areas with scattered pine trees throughout southern England and southern Wales. There are scattered records from Hampshire with, on average, two records annually in recent years. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1949. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Distinguished from the much rarer C. coniferana by the narrow, transverse, metallic bluish plumbeous antemedian band and the lack of a medio-dorsal blotch [Bradley]. Larva feeds within cones of Scots Pine and Corsican Pine.
