A local species in woodland and waste ground in parts of England and Wales, mainly in the south and south-east. Historically recorded in numbers only in Botley Wood, but in the current century reported occasionally from scattered localities in both vice-counties of Hampshire; there is only one recent record from the Isle of Wight, from Freshwater in 2017. Wingspan 9-13 mm. The general coloration of the forewing is darker than in E. pullana, with which it was confused in the past; further distinguished by the darker hindwing and cilia [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Bugle.
