Small Barred Longhorn

Appearance

Head ferruginous mixed with black. Antennae in male 2.5 black, tip white; in female hardly 1.5, thickened with violet-black scales to above middle, remainder white. Forewings shining dark violet fuscous, more or less streaked suffusely between veins with golden - ochreous; a straight deep yellow fascia close beyond middle, narrower costally, edged first with dark fuscous and then with narrow violet fasciae. Hindwings dark purplish
fuscous.

Food

At first, the larvae probably feed on flowers of "Hippophae rhamnoides" or "Ligustrum vulgare". Older larvae built a portable case from leaf fragments and particles of soil and feed on fallen leaves.
