Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland, marshes, river-banks, fens and sand-dunes in parts of England and Wales. In Hampshire there are scattered records across the three vice-counties, but nowhere common: there have been three records from the Isle of Wight, the last in 2011. Most recently recorded in the Test valley in 2021 and Blackwater area in 2023. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Differs from P. spiniana by the pale yellow, falcate medio-dorsal blotch of the forewing. Larva feeds on shoots of Goat Willow, Creeping Willow, Osier and Sallow.
