Authority:(Saxesen, 1840)

Nationally scarce (Nb) in pine woodland in parts of Britain and southern Ireland. In Hampshire widespread in the New Forest and north-eastern heaths, perhaps under-recorded in recent years as there are very few recent records. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Differs from C. conicolana by the presence of a distinct medio-dorsal blotch on the forewing and the better defined black dashes in the ocellus [Bradley]. Larva feeds within damaged bark of Scots Pine.
