Description
Livilla variegata (Löw, 1881)
Feeds on
Both known host plants of L. variegata, Laburnum anagyroides Medik. and L. alpinum (Mill.) Bercht. & J. Presl, are not native to Bulgaria. Our specimens (adults and immatures) were collected on L. anagyroides in ornamental greenery in the Sofia agglomeration. Laburnum anagyroides is frequently planted as an ornamental tree in Bulgaria and spreads in both natural and disturbed habitats (Petrova et al. 2013).
Distribution
General distribution. Native to southern and some parts of central Europe (e. g. the Alps), alien in western and other parts of central Europe and North America. Distribution in Bulgaria (Fig. 86 b). Material examined: PVS.
Notes
New record for Bulgaria.
Diagnosis
Adult (Fig. 86 a) Hodkinson and Hollis (1987). Fifth-instar immature. White and Hodkinson (1982).
