Host-plants. Pyrus elaeagnifolia Pall. in the Crimea (the first record of the host-plant for the species); in other regions also P. amygdaliformis Vill. (see Laštůvka & Laštůvka 2009).

Type of distribution (chorological group). Sub-Mediterranean-Mediterranean; the species occurs in Italy (Sicilia), Croatia, Crimea, and Greece ( Puplesis 1994, Laštůvka & Laštůvka 2009).

Material examined. CRIMEA: 2♂, 20 km SW Feodosiya, Karadag Reserve, at light, 12–25.viii.1987, leg. Yu. Budashkin; 28♂, the same locality, at light, 23.vii–02.viii.2011, leg. J. R. Stonis, A. Navickaitė & G. Varačinskas; 2♂, the same locality, at light, 23.viii.2011, leg. J. R. Stonis & S.
