H o s t p l a n t s: Main food plant is oak. However, the species is found on different forest trees and bushes: Quercus aliena (KIM & SOHN 1999) , Quercus pubescens

(BUDASHKIN 2009), Quercus robur ( DISQUE 1908) , Quercus serrata , Malus toringo,

Prunus padus ( KAWABE 1982) , Prunus ssiori (Rosaceae) (BAE & SAKAMAKI 1995).

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Europe ( Albania, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Norwich, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (except Russia North and Russia Northwest), Sardinia, Sicily, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ukraine, former Yugoslavia), Africa (Sinai Peninsula ( Egypt), Asia (Asian Turkey, Caucasian Russian republics, Arabian peninsula, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Iran, Iraq).

R e m a r k s: Larvae and pupae were collected in North-Eastern and South-Eastern Azerbaijan on different forest plants. Last instar larvae are dark green, very active, and 2.0- 2.3 cm in length. Caterpillars damage Quercus castaneifolia and Quercus iberica .

Caterpillars are found in the web of leaves or young shoots twisted together. Young caterpillars feed on buds, then they move on to the leaves ( BRADLEY et al. 1979). They pupate in a leaf roll along the main vein of the leaf ( KUZNETSOV 1994) or sometimes on the ground amongst leaf litter in June ( BRADLEY et al. 1979).

Newly reported for Azerbaijan fauna.
