Fig. 2 .

MATERIAL. 1♂ — Russia, Republic of Mordovia, Ichalki district, National Park «Smolny», forestry Kemlyanskoe , quarter 87, 54.7444°N, 45.2796°E, 12–14.VII.2019, leg. G.Semishin.

DISTRIBUTION. Palaearctic: Europe ( Italy, Spain, France), Middle East ( Israel), North Africa (Canary Islands).

BIOLOGY. A host of this species has recently been recorded for the first time [ Scaramozzino et al., 2020]. This is Lobesia botrana (Denis et Schiffer-Müller, 1775) , Tortricidae . Clemelis massilia is thought to develop in a single host species [ Tschorsnig et al., 2011]. However, this has not yet been reliably confirmed. Lobesia botrana is found in some southern regions of Russia, but it has not been reliably recorded further than the Samara region [ Anikin et al., 2017]. The biotope of the Clematis massilia find is similar to the previous species.
