Extinct in the British Isles. The only known British specimen of this species was taken in July 1850 at Whittlesea Mere, Huntingdonshire. Unlikely to be recorded in Hampshire or on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-13mm. The distinctive forewing pattern, especially the striated median area, the semi-elliptical pre-tornal marking and the strongly marked yellow-ochreous ocellus, is characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds within bark of Aspen, forming galls.
