Indistinguisable from the case of C. glitzella.
hostplants
Ericaceae, monophagous
Vaccinium vitis-idaea.
Hering (1957a) also mentions Vaccinium myrtillus as a host plant, but this is not repeated by later authors.
phenology
The larva is full-grown already in autumn (Toll, 1962a).
BENELUX
Not known from the Benelux countries (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
distribution within Europe
From Fennoscandia and northern Russia to the Alps, and from Germany to the Baltic States and Poland (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
notes
While the larvae of C. glitzella live preferably on plants in shady and damp situations, are the larvae of murinella found mostly in open and drier habitats (Toll, 1962a).
