The forewings are covered with fine hairs and are uniformly brownish with black puncturation. There are sometimes irregular darker areas. The vertex is rather short; the median length only 1.5x that at the sides. Found locally on bog myrtle in damp acid bogs, mainly in southern areas of Britain and Ireland.        Adult: August to October Length 10-12 mm
