Chrysocrambus linetella is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. [1]
This species can be found in Great Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, [2] Transcaucasia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, and Turkmenistan. [3]
The wingspan is 20–27 mm. [4] The basic color of the upperside forewings is whitish, with several longitudinal brown lines and two transverse brown lines.
It is very similar to Chrysocrambus craterella , but it can be distinguished by the less curved course of the median line and by the lack at the apex of the forewings of a double soft brown line. It could be overlooked as Thisanotia chrysonuchella . [5]
Adults are on wing from June to the end of August in one generation per year. [6] The larvae feed on roots of grasses (Poaceae species). [7]
