It is hoped that this alphabetical listing followed by the common name of the foodplant will prove useful. The list is not exhaustive. Experimenting with closely related foodplants is worthwhile.

Perhaps (I really don't know) The species name, sparsum, refers to the weak=thin (sparse) lines on the wings.
