Terellia sp. ex serratulae aggr.

Strobl, 1893: 125; 1900: 624 ( Trypeta ) — Lesina; Mihályi, 1959: 347; Bjeliš, 2007: 373.

Material. Istria: “Rovinj, CB363”, “reared from Cirsium vulgare ”, 6.08.1963, 4 Ơ, 4 ♀ (Zwölfer) ( NMP) ;

Karlovac: Modruš: Richtung “Insektenzoo”, 28.07.2021, 2 ♀ (Kovac leg.) ( SMNF) .

Remarks. These specimens belong to an aggregation of numerous “host races” or cryptic species associated with different host plants, two of which occur in Europe. They are poorly distinguishable based on morphological characters that widely overlap. The specimens from Croatia belong to the complex of populations associated with Cirsium spp. in Southern Europe, but the populations from Carduus spp. that are believed to be “typical” T. serratulae occur mainly in Central and Northern Europe.
