Rarely observed in Belgium and only known from recent records from the province of Antwerpen.  Probably overlooked.

The larva feeds on moss growing on walls, living in a silken gallery. Pupates in an open network cocoon inside the larval habitation.

The adults fly from late May till late August. They are nocturnal and come to light.

ID: most species within this genus are not easy to separate because of individual variation and a tendency to form ecological forms, so it's best to separate them with examination of the genitalia for reliable identification.
