General comments:
Widespread but rather local resident in Hertfordshire.

As with the Royal Mantle, the moth is restricted as a resident to chalky ground in the north of Hertfordshire, with most if not all reports way from this area referable to vagrants. However, the map shows that unlike the Royal Mantle it can thrive on the Chalky Boulder Clay of the north-east and does not seem to be restricted to actual Chalk geology.
