notes
In the literature before the publication by Patzak (1974a) mostly it is stated incorrectly that the larva would live in a lobe case. In any case the illustrations and descriptions by Hering (1957a), Toll (1962a) and Razowski (1990a) do not relate to coronillae; it is conceivable that they actually refer to C. oriolella. Faunistical and biological information about coronillae should be treated cautionary therefore. In particular, it remains to be seen of the species lives on other host plants than Securigera.
Baldizzone (2004a) describes the case as lightly coloured; the larva should live on the pods.
