First record: 1 specimen, CO: Alexandra, 28 Sep 2010, B.H. Patrick (BPNZ). Another at the same locality, 29 Oct 2010. Subsequently singletons from Kaituna Valley MC, 25 Sep 2012; Birdlings Flat MC, 7 Aug 2014 (both BPNZ); and Dinton St, Russley, Christchurch MC, 7 Nov 2015, NH (NHNZ).
So far, the only records here are from overwintered adults captured at light in late winter and spring. It might well have been established for a number of years, as there is a wide spread of records. As potential host plants, there are 9 introduced species of Malva and 2 of Alcea naturalised in NZ, along with a number of other introduced Malvaceae.
