Rare and local. Reportedly several generations; so far observed from late July to September.
Early/late dates: July 21 - September 25.
Habitat: steppes and meadows.
Remark: This species is very similar to P. alveus (Hübner, [1803]), which was previously reported for our region (see the list of historic and dubious records). However, the identity of our specimens is now confirmed as armoricanus by genitalia investigation. It is quite possible that our alveus records are results of misidentification.
