Remarks — Brachytydeus paraobliquus was first described by Panou and Emmanouel in

1996 from P. cerasus and Cornus sp. in Greece. In Hungary, Ripka et al. (2002) were the first to identify this species on Tilia tomentosa Moench ( Malvaceae ) leaves. Later, Tempfli et al. (2015) found it in Hungarian vineyards. In Türkiye, Özman-Sullivan et al. (2005) first reported it as Lorryia paraobliqua in the hazelnut orchards of Samsun. In a recent study in

Ordu Province of Türkiye, Akyazı et al. (2017) found the species on D. kaki and Diospyros latus L. ( Ebenaceae ) leaves and re-described it. They also described the deutonymph and tritonymph for the first time. The species was found on various other plants in Ordu, including

P. domestica , Prunus avium L. ( Rosaceae ), P. cerasus , C. mas ( Altunç and Akyazı 2019) , M.

domestica, P. communis , Cydonia ablonga Mill. ( Rosaceae ) ( Akyol and Akyazı 2022) and P.

laurocerasus ( Akyazı et al. 2022b) .
