Authority:([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)

Common in oak woodland, in England, Wales and southern Ireland. Widespread and fairly common to common in oak woodland in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 14-20 mm. The rather broad, rounded forewing and general marbled appearance are characteristic of the two Eudemis species on the British list: E. profundana is separated from E. porphyrana by having the upper edge of the dorsal blotch not deeply indented and the basal fasciae usually well developed dorsally [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Oak, living within a spun or rolled leaf.
