Host plants:
I recorded the larva on Centaurea.
Habitat:
I recorded the larvae on an garrigue-like aisle through pine woodland in the spanish Sierra de Huetor (NE of Granada).
Life cycle:
I recorded the still half-grown larvae singly in late March. They show the same feeding pattern as related species. The moths occur between may and early July.
Remarks:
Jordanita vartianae is endemic to eastern Spain, from Andalucia (e.g. Granada) to S-Catalonia.
The specimens have been genitalized by Mr. Tarmann (Innsbruck).
