Only ever found at one location in Britain (Nettlebed, Oxfordshire), by one lepidopterist, and not recorded since his death in 1930.
The early flight season of C.antennariella would be of some help in identification. Said by MBGBI3 to be buff in colour, but the few web images available of this species suggest it is grey and that the pale costa is fairly indistinct.
