The species was first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.[1] It is found in most of Europe, from Great Britain and the Iberian Peninsula to the Ural Mountains and further east to central Asia and Transcaucasia, Asia Minor and the Near East.

The larvae feed on the developing seeds of Descurainia sophia and Erysimum cheiranthoides. They are green with a pale line along the side.
