First record: 2 specimens, AK: Devonport, Jan 1977, sticky trap (MAF, no collector given) (NZAC). Many reared from dead wood, Mt Albert, Auckland AK, late 1979, L.I.N. Roberts. Now common around Auckland and also recorded from Paihia and Whangarei (ND), Pukekawa, northern Waikato (WO) and recently from New Plymouth (TK). Likely to be more widespread. Easily overlooked as an adult moth but rearing reveals it to be very well established and common in Auckland, especially in drier, more open habitats.
