Remarks.

Up to present, M. fallaciosa is known only from several localities in Italy, Hungary and Switzerland ( Ermisch 1969c; Merkl and Németh 2008; Horák 2008). Although this species was originally described from Italy by Ermisch (1969c), we provide here another record of this rare species, increasing the information about its distribution in the country. The immature stages and their host plants remain unknown.
