Distribution. A European species not listed for Madeira archipelago in recent checklists ( Hoch, 2004). MADEIRA: found in naturalized chestnut forests above 300 m altitude on southern slopes (Aguin-Pombo, 2002).

Food plants. Quercus robur and Castanea sativa (Aguin-Pombo, 2002) . Remarks. Some females recorded by Lindberg from Madeira as Alebra albostriella (Fallén, 1826) were deposited at the Municipal Museum of Funchal, but these resemble A. viridis (Aguin-Pombo, 2002) . This last species was considered a variety of A. albostriella at the time that Lindberg published his work. The occurrence of A. albostriella on Madeira is unlikely.
