Subspecies

[3]

Description

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]

Biology

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]
