A rare species of calcareous grassland in the UK, thought to be confined to Kent so unlikely to be resident in our region. Of the two Bucks records, one (from College Lake in 1997) was at least found in the correct habitat, unlike the other from a garden on the clay (at Westcott in 2006) although that one was dissected to confirm. Both are likely to have been vagrants.

Although larger, the moth looks very similar to Cochylimorpha straminea so would need dissection to confirm.
