AV, CN ( Burckhardt & Halperin 1992 ). Host plant. Nitraria retusa (Nitrariaceae) . Comments. The material from Israel is variable with respect to the dark forewing pattern: very light and indistinct in some specimens and darker and strongly contrasted in others. In addition, the Israeli specimens have a dark forewing pattern that is less expansive than in specimens from Mongolia . We found no significant differences in the terminalia between these colour forms and provisionally concluded that they represent intraspecific variation.
