Remark: Radchenko and Pesenko (1989) preferred using D. thoracica Baer, 1853 for this species, although none of the specialists accepted changing D. argentata ( Michez et al., 2004a) except for Celary (2002). It is a widespread species and is very abundant, particularly in East Anatolia. After D. hirtipes it is the second most widespread species of the genus Dasypoda both in Turkey ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 ) and the world.

Plants associated: Daucus carota , Eryngium billardierei , Cichorium intybus , Echinops galaticus , E. orientalis , Onopordum acanthium , O. tauricum , Tragopogon aureus , Cephalaria gigantea , C. lycica , C. procera , Euphorbia orientalis , Dipsacus laciniatus , Scabiosa caucasica , Melilotus officinalis , and Salvia aethiopis . It is remarkable to note that D. argentata shows high preference to the Cephalaria species; in particular, C. procera is the most frequently visited plant.
