Trachys subglaber Rey, 1891

mine

Probably indistinguishable from the mine of T. troglodytes.

host plants

Caprifoliaceae, ? oligophagous

Knautia arvensis; Scabiosa canescens, columbaria; Sixalix atropurpurea; Succisa pratensis.

Because of confusion with T. troglodytes the list of host plants is unreliable. According to Levey only Succisa comes into consideration.

BENELUX

<>Not known from the Benelux countries(Fauna Europaea, 2016).

distribution within Europe

From Germany till Spain (Fauna Europaea, 2016); also Great Britain (Levey).

synonyms

Trachys subglabra; Trachys compressus Abeille de Perrin, 1891; Trachys troglodytes subglaber.

The Fauna Europaea considers subglaber a subspecies of troglodytes, but because in the UK, according to the experience of Levey, both species might co-occur this is improbable.

larva

see Bilý (1999a).
