Notes

Active specimens have been observed as early as March (Observation. org), some of them ovipositing on living trees. It is unclear whether the species really hibernates, has a phase of quiescence or hibernates in the host cocoon (located in the direct vicinity of trees). Starke (1956) nonetheless reports his specimen in ‘ winter rest’ below the bark of a maple tree.

Status: Unverified.

Records: Germany, 9. IV. 1939.

Sources: Starke (1956).
