Aus Europa noch unbekannt! Bidzilya et al. (2019) schreiben: "The species inhabits salt marshes and halophytic steppes. Larvae feed on Bassia muricata (L.) Asch. (Robinson et al. 2010–2019) and on Halogeton sp. in southern Kazakhstan (Falkovitsh 1969a: 458). In Dvujakornaya bukhta near Ordzhonikidze (Crimea) the adults were observed very abundant around Petrosimonia triandra (Pall.) Simonk that is undoubtedly the additional host plant of this species. Adults fly from May to mid June and then in July-August in two generations. The mature larva most likely overwinters."
Alle drei genannten Pflanzengattungen gehören zu den Salsoloidea innerhalb der Gänsefuß- bzw. Fuchsschwanzgewächse (Chenopodiaceae s.str., Amaranthaceae s.l.).
