Material: AK, Oslo: Bleikøya , 59.890256°N 10.741698°E ± 6m, 3 July 2020, 1L, leg GoogleMaps . TS & HE, BOLD: NHMO-ENT-548067, coll. NHMO.

Biology and notes: According to the original description in Barnes et al. (1962), pink larvae develop in the capitula of Leucanthemum vulgare ( Asteraceae ). It is not stated whether they cause

visible damage. The species can be either uni- or bivoltine, and pupation and hibernation take place in the soil. We obtained a single, yellowish white larva from capitula of Leucanthemum vulgare . It was dead when found and may have been pinker when alive. Larval habitus and DNA barcoding places it among Dasineura , and we have identified it as Dasineura chrysanthemi based on this. Barnes et al. (1962) unfortunately did not describe the larva in further detail.

Distribution: Only known from UK, Norway and Denmark.
