Distribution
:Netherlands, Finland (Södermann
2007
), Norway (Söderman
et al.
2009
), Germany, Switzerland.
Remarks
:both specimens were collected inside vineyards on wild vegetation of embankments. This species is known from the Netherlands to be monophagous on Brown bent (
Agrostis vinealis
)in sandy dry grassland (Bieman
1987
b). In the present study aquantitative vegetation sampling at the above-mentioned sites revealed the presence of black bent (
Agrostis gigantea
)and creeping bent (
Agrostis stolonifera
)which are closely related to
A. vinealis
.
