Host information.

Host of type unknown; also Lycaenidae : Callophrys avis Chapman, 1909, Celastrina argiolus (Linnaeus, 1758), Glaucopsyche melanops (Boisduval, 1828), Leptotes pirithous * (Linnaeus, 1767), Satyrium w-album (Knoch, 1782), Tomares ballus (Fabricius, 1787).

Notes.

German specimens were compared with the description and keys in Papp (1973, 1986a, 1987) and Shaw (2007). No host was mentioned in the original description ( Papp 1973) nor in later mentions of this species by its author (cf. Papp 1990). For more detailed and updated information on hosts and distribution of this species see Shaw (2007). Two specimens reared from Leptotes pirithous (MRS_JFT0268, MRS_JFT0425) represent a new host record and cluster in the same BIN as our German specimens. This species is illustrated in Fig. 12 .
