Biology: The orange larvae develop gregariously in shoot galls on Euphorbia spp. ( Euphorbiaceae ). Our records are all from E. palustris . The leaves of the infected shoot remain rolled together, forming a spool-shaped gall that is sometimes miscolored red. Multivoltine. The early generations pupate in the gall. The larvae of the last generation leave the gall to hibernate in the soil.

Distribution: Only known from a few European countries including Norway and Sweden.
