Colposcenia bidentata Burckhardt, 1988

Feeds on

The genus Tamarix was indicated as the host plant of Colposcenia bidentata ( Burckhardt 1988) . In Bulgaria, we collected adults on Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. , a probable host plant species. It is possible that C. bidentata also develops on T. tetrandra Pall. ex. M. B., as mixed communities of both Tamarix species occur in Bulgaria.
