Diagnosis.

Males of C. misella usually have distinct sexually dimorphic wing patterns [e.g., Fig. 4G View Figure 4 from Kyrgyzstan is almost identical to the male syntype photograph by Hendel (1927)] but some European populations seem to show slight sexual dimorphism (e.g., Fig. 4H View Figure 4 from Switzerland). More extensive survey is required to understand their variation, but they could still be readily diagnosed even based on our limited samples. Head largely yellowish brown with grey upper occiput. Thorax with scutum entirely ash-grey with five brownish longitudinal stripes ( Fig. 4I, K View Figure 4 ); bases of acrostichal, dorsocentral, intra-alar, basal scutellar setae dark brown; scutellum ash-grey with lateral margins brown, apex yellowish brown; Legs with femora largely dark grey except for yellowish brown apices ( Fig. 4G, H, J View Figure 4 ), but tibiae and tarsi yellowish brown; fore femur with six or seven dark brown posteroventral setae. Wing with basal half largely with dark spots, especially cell br posteroapical to fork of vein Rs with dark brown rectangular area (approx. twice as wide as long; Fig. 4G-a, J-a View Figure 4 ); male often with large dark mid-anterior marking covering from mid-anterior 1/3 to posterior end of crossvein R-M ( Fig. 4G View Figure 4 ); pterostigma almost completely dark brown in such sexually dimorphic male (Fig. G), but with large hyaline spot in minimally dimorphic male ( Fig. 4H View Figure 4 ), and female ( Fig. 4J View Figure 4 ); cell r1 apical to pterostigma with three large hyaline spots with 1st and 3rd spots much smaller than middle one in dimorphic male ( Fig. 4G-b View Figure 4 ), but with three large similarly sized hyaline spots in female ( Fig. 4J View Figure 4 ) or minimally dimorphic male ( Fig. 4H View Figure 4 ); cell r2+3 without posteroapical hyaline spot. Abdomen ash-grey with tergites 3-5 in male and 3-6 in female each with pair of brown submedian spots; oviscape shiny dark brown, as long as four preceding segments.

Distribution.

Europe, Central Asia, China (Xinjian, Shanxi, Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan), Nepal.

Biology.

This is the only species of the misella group with host feeding biology known. Interestingly, White (1988) reported that this species usually attacks the flowering spike of Artemisia vulgaris , inducing a stem gall in the first generation and developing in the capitula in the second generation in the UK. In addition to Ar. vulgaris , Korneyev and Kameneva (1993) listed Ar. santolinifoliae and Ar. dracunculus as their host plants in Central Asia (Kazakhstan).

Remarks.

We resurrected C. coei and C. pishanica from the synonymy of C. misella by Korneyev (2014). Our study indicates that C. coei is a valid species ( Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). Campiglossa pishanica is somewhat similar to C. misella in having the dark femora and the large mid-anterior wing marking, but C. pishanica has the following characteristics that, we posit, are beyond the variation range of the C. misella wing pattern ( Figs 4G View Figure 4 vs. 10E): cell r1 apical to pterostigma with two hyaline spots instead of 3, basal 3/4 of cell dm almost hyaline, and anal lobe hyaline. See also the Remarks of C. pishanica for further discussion.
