2. Biologie

2.1. Nahrung der Raupe

Noch unbekannt! Huemer & Mayr (2023: 81) geben aber einige Hinweise: "Host-plant and early stages are unknown, however, the congeneric species mainly feed on woody plants and the new species probably also feeds on such. One of the localities is a semi-desert with only a few woody plants which may be potential host-plants, e.g. Prunus incana or Rhamnus pallassii. Larix, the main host-plant for E. duratella according to Deutsch (2008), is not present in Armenia (Schmidt 1995)."
