Year: 2025

Type: other

Abstract: Arytaina maculata (Löw, 1886) Feeds on Arytaina maculata is narrowly oligophagous on Chamaecytisus spp., a taxonomically difficult group in the Balkans. Arytaina maculata was recorded by Klimaszewski (1970) on Ch. ratisbonensis (Schaeff.) Rotm. from Bulgaria (Yakoruda), by Andrianova and Klimaszewski (1983) on Ch. borysthenicus (Gruner) from south-western Russia, by Conci et al. (1993) from Italy on Ch. spinescens Rothm. and by Malenovský et al. (2011) on Ch. austriacus (L.) Link from Czechia. We collected many adult and immature specimens of A. maculata in south-western Bulgaria on Chamaecytisus austriacus subsp. stefanoffii (Stoj.) Kuzmanov and many adults also on Chamaecytisus eriocarpus (Boiss.) Rothm. - the former is thus a newly-confirmed and the latter a probable host plant. Distribution General distribution. Central and south-eastern Europe. Distribution in Bulgaria (Fig. 53 b). Published records: ROP, RPM, RPP, RRW, SBW (Klimaszewski 1965, Klimaszewski 1970, Głowacka and Harizanov 1983, Głowacka 1989, Lauterer 1993, Pramatarova et al. 2021, Pramatarova et al. 2023). Material examined: ROB, ROM, ROP, RPM, RPP, RPR, RPS, RRE, RRW, SBM, SBW. Diagnosis Adult (Fig. 53 a). Hodkinson and Hollis (1987). Fifth-instar immature. Loginova (1976).
