Davey, P., 2009: A species confined to the Mediterranean region plus the whole of Iberia, and, since 2006, recorded on a number of occasions on Guernsey, the larva feeding on holm oak (Quercus ilex).

The only UK mainland record is from Dorset: Durlston, at MV light on 12 October 2008 (P Davey). There is scope for this species to become resident in localities currently occupied by the Oak Rustic, if indeed it has not already done so, as they both feed on holm oak and both share the same distribution across Europe. The moth is on the wing during October, a little later than that of Brindled Green and a little earlier than that of Oak Rustic, although all three potentially overlap in the first fortnight of October.

The moth is similar to Brindled Green. Diagnostics include: a brown ground colour giving the appearance of a miniature 'Brocade' species.
