Notes:
Nationally scarce (Nb) in lime woodland, parkland, urban areas and on roadside verges in parts of southern England and southern Wales, with records north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire recorded on the coast at Bournemouth, Christchurch, Southampton and Southsea, where regular and frequent, but recorded inland only at Alton and Northington in the north and at Lyndhurst in the south. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Differs from C. lathamella in the forewing, which has the orange ground colour undivided, by the narrow dark edging of the basal part of the costa and by the lack of a patch of erect dark scales in the second dorsal spot (MBGBI Vol 4 part 1). Larva feeds within bark of Common Lime, Small-leaved Lime and Large-leaved Lime.
