Distribution. Italy (Sicily) (Carapezza 1997, without an exact locality), Spain (Kerzhner and Josifov 1999, without an exact locality; confirmed in this paper), Algeria (Montandon 1890, Sienkiewicz 1964), Morocco (Vidal 1937, Lindberg 1940, Wagner 1958), Tunisia (Carapezza 1997). The records from Sardinia (Servadei 1952, 1967; Stichel 1956, 1958) refer to N. psyche. Wagner (1968) mentioned in the key its occurrence in Sardinia (not Sicily), but he mentioned it from Sicily (but not from Sardinia) in the discussion; thus Wagner’s record from Sicily probably is a mistake.
Host plant. Ephedra cossonii (Morocco) (Lindberg 1940), E. fragilis (Morocco, Tunisia) (Carapezza 1997, this paper).
Bionomics. Adults were collected in April (Wagner 1958, this paper), May (Lindberg 1940, Linnavuori 1968, Carapezza 1997, this paper), June (Lindberg 1940, Linnavuori 1968, this paper), July (Carapezza 1997), October (this paper), and November (Lindberg 1940). Larvae of 5th instar were collected in May (this paper).
Ecology. Collected on the banks of the Reraïa river in the High Atlas Mts. (1250 m a.s.l.) in Morocco, together with Hyoidea horvathi (Lindberg 1940).
