General comments:
Local and scarce.

Apparently confined to the Upper Chalk in North Hertfordshire. This may be true, but it is probably also an overlooked low-density resident species. According to Bradley, Tremewan & Smith (1973. British Tortricoid Moths, volume 1), the larvae feed on Erigeron acer and Conyza canadensis. The latter of these, at least, has visibly expanded its distribution in Hertfordshire in recent years.
