Foodplant:   Various trees and shrubs
Nat Status: Common
Verification Grade:

Seemingly less common than the other Pandemis species, but may suffer from a degree of under-recording because of confusion with Pandemis heparana (only the males of cinnamomeana have the distinctive white head). Found locally across our region although appears to be absent from the far north of both Bucks and Oxon.

Recorded in 36 (46%) of 78 10k Squares.
