Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Eurhodope rosella faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its European range. The species' specialized dependence on specific host plants makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices and climate-induced shifts in plant communities.

Threat summary

Habitat

Inhabits dry grasslands, meadows, and scrubland areas where its host plants in the Dipsacaceae family (particularly Scabiosa species) occur. The species requires warm, sunny slopes and calcareous soils typically found in Mediterranean and temperate European ecosystems.

Why is Phycide de la scabieuse classified as Critically Endangered?
Phycide de la scabieuse is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Eurhodope rosella faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its European range. The species' specialized dependence on specific host plants makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices and climate-induced shifts in plant communities.
Where does Phycide de la scabieuse live?
Phycide de la scabieuse occurs in Albania, Armenia, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Czechia (plus 20 other countries). Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Phycide de la scabieuse?
The main threats to Phycide de la scabieuse are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
