features
The fore wings of Hypsopygia fulvocilialis are divided by two light, somewhat wavy transverse lines. The inner two thirds are olive green to gray, the outer third blue-gray. The outer edge is red-brown. The hind wings show the same pattern, but are slightly lighter.
Synonyms
- Asopia fulvocilialis Duponchel, 1834
- Herculia fulvocilialis
Way of life
Hypsopygia fulvocilialis forms a generation a year that flies from mid-May to September. The caterpillars are not yet known. Presumably, like the caterpillars of Ocrasa glaucinalis, they feed on dead plant material.
Occurrence
Hypsopygia fulvocilialis is a predominantly southern European species. The northernmost occurrences have so far been reported from Hungary . In the course of global warming, however, it is to be expected that the species will expand further north.
Taxonomy
The combination Herculia fulvocilialis used in some places is incorrect because the genus Herculia is a younger synonym of Hypsopygia .
