Aphalara freji Burckhardt & Lauterer, 1997 View in CoL

Distribution

General distribution. Western Palaearctic, Iran, South Korea. Distribution in Bulgaria (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ). Published records: ROP, RRW ( Klimaszewski 1965, Głowacka and Harizanov 1983, Głowacka 1989; as A. polygoni ); PSA, SBE ( Pramatarova et al. 2021, Pramatarova et al. 2024). Material examined: PSA, ROM, ROP, RPM, RPP, RPR, SBE.

Notes

Before the revision by Burckhardt and Lauterer (1997 a), A. freji was usually misinterpreted as A. polygoni auct. nec Foerster, 1848. Therefore, we assign here the data from Bulgaria published by Klimaszewski (1965), Głowacka and Harizanov (1983) and Głowacka (1989) as ' A. polygoni ' to A. freji . This is partly supported by the fact that the specimens of Głowacka and Harizanov (1983) and Głowacka (1989) were collected on Polygonum sp. , while the host plants of A. polygoni Foerster, 1848 are Rumex spp. ( Burckhardt and Lauterer 1997 a).

Diagnosis

Adult. Burckhardt and Lauterer (1997 a); Ossiannilsson (1992) as A. polygoni . Fifth-instar immature. Ossiannilsson (1992), as A. polygoni .
