Notes:
Nationally scarce (Na) in dry pastures, downland and sand-dunes in parts of the British Isles, but not in northern Scotland. Not recorded in Hampshire or on the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 11-14 mm. Distinguished from C. nana by the absence of ochreous suffusion in the ground colour of the forewing, and the narrower median fascia which is separate from the subbasal fascia on the costa [Bradley]. Larva feeds within seedheads of Sheep's-bit, over-wintering in a cocoon.
