• [Amaranthaceae: Salsoloideae:] Traganum nudatum

Falck & Karsholt (2019: 329) berichten: "The type series was reared from Traganum nudatum Moq. (Bengtsson, 1997: 85), which has not been found in the Canary Islands (González, 2019). On the biotope Traganum moquinii Webb occurs commonly and may be the hostplant for S. eucharis." Walsingham (1907: 8) hatte aus dem Nordosten von Algerien genauer gemeldet: "The larva was found from March 13th to April 4th on Traganum nudatum, forming sand-galleries near the base of the stems; the moth was bred in April and May."
