Scrobipalpa pauperella (von Heinemann, 1870)
cambridge groundling
mine
Not well known. The mine on Cirsium would resemble the one of S. acuminatella, but in Centaurea the larve perhaps is a stem borer (Bland ao, 2002a).
host plants
Asteraceae, oligophagous
Centaurea phrygia, scabiosa; Cirsium acaule, arvense, canum, palustre, vulgare; Jurinea cyanoides; Petasites albus; Serratula tinctoria (?).
According to Huemer & Karsholt (2010a) only the references to Centaurea are really trustworthy.
phenology
Larvae in July, probably also in September (Sattler, 1989a).
BENELUX
Not known from the Benelux countries (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
distribution within Europe
Almost all of Europe, but not known from Ireland, the Iberian and the Balkan Peninsula (Fauna Europaea, 2009).
