General comments
Extinct resident.

This attractive moth is now extinct in Hertfordshire, almost certainly as a direct consequence of the loss and degradation of its chalk downland habitat. Foster (1937) lists records for the canal bank at Tring Station in 1899 and 1900, for Hitchin in 1922 and Waltham Common, though I argue in the Herts Moth Book that the last mentioned was probably a Hampshire locality. There have never been any Middlesex records.
