The individual illustrated depicts the first British record of this species, attracted to light in a Lindfield, West Sussex garden on 15 June 2008.
Since then there have been a couple more records, from West Sussex and Hampshire, and is suspected, rather like other Blastobasis species, to be a possible adventive colonist.
The species is native to Maderia, along with other Blastobasis species such as 873 B. adustella and 874 B. lacticolella.
