Description
Warren states.R. renigera Hbn. (= dumosa Donz.[Dichagyris renigera Hübner, [1808]]) (13 e). Forewing greyish ochreous, thickly dusted with fuscous or grey, especially the space between outer and submarginal lines; markings obscure; lines marked by dark spots on costa; stigmata faintly yellowish; hindwing greyish fuscous.A south European species, found in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Carinthia, Bosnia, and Hungary; also in Armenia, Asia Minor, Syria,Persia, Turkestan, and Mongolia: the Asiatic forms differ in coloration from the European; they have been separated by Staudinger as ab. turana Stgr.[Dichagyris forficula ssp. turana Staudinger, 1891], which is pale ocbreous, with the grey tinge less conspicuous: ab. intermedia Stgr. (13 e),[Dichagyris forficula Eversmann, 1851] which is dark violaceous grey with markings obscure; ab. erubescens Stgr.[Dichagyris erubescens Staudinger, 1891,in which the ochreous deepens into fulvous or reddish, and the markings become distinct; and ab. funebris [Dichagyris renigera Hübner, [1808]}Stgr.(13 e), which is leaden grey; but erubescens and intermedia may well form a species apart, as Staudinger himself suggested. [2]
Biology
The larvae feed on the flowers and seeds of Chondrilla juncea, Lactuca sativa and Lactuca serriola.[3]
