||
| Status .....Extremely rare in Nottinghamshire, with just three known sites at the Nottingham University's Jubilee Campus. First discovered in 2015 by Jérémie Cauchois, this was the first county record since 1986 and numerous exit holes were subsequently found after the discovery at the base of several Poplar sp (Wright, S.). The moth has recently been found at the British Geological Survey offices at Keyworth and at Staunton Quarry NR and is likely awaiting discovery at other sites. | ||
