Hi Martin,
The name tussilaginis, is indeed misleading.
I would love to have some references on the rearings from Cirsium sp., if you have some I would greatly appreciate it!

"Im Ausland [that is: outside of Switzerland] an A[rctium]. lappa und je einmal aus den Bl?tenk?pfen von Cirsium arvense und den Stengeln von C. vulgare gezogen."
No further reference is given.
Hope that helps - martin
