Extra Ecological Information

Hawkeswood (1986) recorded this adults of this species feeding on leaves of Eucalyptus viminalis and bred from E. phaeotricha. Later, he (Hawkeswood 1993) listed adults on flowers of Taraxacum officinale (Asteraceae), leaves of E. viminalis and on fruiting Crataegus monogyna (Rosaceae); Cowie (2001) recorded this species from E. viminalis..
