Norfolk status Locally uncommon. Common on chalk downs, open woodland, thickets, hedgerows and gardens throughout much of Britain.
First listed as "Generally in gardens on roses" by Barrett in 1874.
Larger than the similar Notocelia trimaculana and with finer, more oblique costal strigulae (the small dashes along the leading edge of the forewing) These are more numerous than in N. trimaculana and roborana. Specimens may require genitalia examination to confirm.
We believe many Norfolk records are misidentifications.
Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.
