Remarks
This species has a Palaearctic distribution (
Balachowsky 1966
) and was listed in the “
Lepidoptera
of
Turkey
” by
Koçak (2001)
. However, we found no records of this species in
Turkey
. The host plants reported in the literature, e.g.,
Convolvulus
,
Calystegia
, and
Ipomea
,
all occur in
Turkey
; therefore this species may be present.
