- [Pottiaceae:] Syntrichia ruralis (Dach-Drehzahnmoos)
Karsholt & Rutten (2005: 135) stellten fest: "The biology is described by Heckford & Sterling (2002). The larva with head and prothoracic plate black, body dull purplish brown with pale reddish brown to greyish white subdorsal lines, anal plate brown. It lives in a densely spun silken tube beneath the surface of the host plant. Zeller (1839) described B. basaltinella from an area characterized by basalt boulders, suggesting stone-growing mosses as the possible food plants. This is also indicated by observations in The Netherlands where B. basaltinella is most common in built-up areas. Heckford & Sterling (2002) found the larvae in roof-growing Syntrichia ruralis (Hedw.) The larval description given by Meess (1910) for B. basaltinella probably refers to Catoptria falsella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775 (Crambidae) (Heckford & Sterling 2002)."
Gregersen & Karsholt (2022: 229-230) ergänzen nach der gleichen Quelle: "Host-plant. Larva so far only found on roof-growing Syntrichia ruralis (Heckford & Sterling op. cit.), but as B. basaltinella also occurs on hoardings, rocks and in thatches (Heinemann 1870: 244) it is likely, that it feeds on additional mosses. The larva lives in a dense whitish silken tube; the upper end of the tube is sometimes visible on the surface of the moss, where it is more flimsy and incorporates chewed moss fragments."

Bengtsson (2017: 138) meldet die Art von 2 Orten in Skåne als neu von Schweden.
Bisi & Lupi (2021) nahmen die Art nur mit großem Vorbehalt in ihren ["Catalogo dei Lepidotteri d'Italia Ropaloceri ed Eteroceri (Insecta: Lepidoptera)"] auf und vermerkten in ihrer [Anmerkung dazu]: "non presente in Italia secondo de Jong et al. (2014)." Es fehlen also anscheinend konkrete und übeprüfbare Belege.
