It is endemic to New Zealand.[4] Specimens have been found in Broad Bay, Otago and Aniseed Valley in Nelson.[4] A specimen was also collected south east of Te Anau where it was described by Charles E. Clarke as being a rare moth that was taken in December amongst Leptospermum.[6] This species has also been collected in December in the Dansey ecological district, near Kakanui, on Helichrysum aggregatum.[7]
