Notes:
Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland edges, parks and gardens throughout England and Wales. Occurs irregularly in Hampshire, where the distribution mirrors those areas in which trapping effort is concentrated, and the moth is probably more widely distributed than the records suggest. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-15 mm. The diffuse, coarsely irrorate and farinose appearance of the forewing markings and ground colour are characteristic; and the termen is not sinuate as in other Gypsonoma species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on buds of Black and White Poplar.
