Remarks.
This species naturally occurs in the Palearctic, from Europe to
Afghanistan
(
Norrbom
et al
. 1999
).
Adults are usually found in dry habitats, where their larvae feed exclusively on
Senecio
plants (
Smit 2006
;
Mohamadzade Namin & Nozari 2012
). It is an uncommon species in the
Madeira
archipelago, restricted to the south of
Madeira
Island. There was only one published record for
Porto
Santo (
Smit 2006
), but we confirmed its presence in two additional locations.
