Host plants:
The larvae feed on Lonicera species. I observed them in Spain (Albarracin) on Lonicera xylosteum.
Habitat:
Lophoterges millierei inhabits open, dry and warm woodland, bushy slopes, hedges and similar places.
Life cycle:
The moths occur between late April and early September in one or occasionally also two generations. The larvae live until early autumn. I recorded them clung on twigs in Spain (Sierra de Albarracin) in late August 2013.
Remarks:
Lophoterges millierei has an Atlanto-Mediterranean distribution (Morocco, Iberian Peninsula, S-France to Switzerland).
Lophoterges millierei is related to Calliergis ramosa.
