Spermophagus sericeus (Geoffroy, 1785)

Distribution in Iran. Alborz, East Azarbaijan ( Delobel 2011), Fars ( Valai et al. 2013), Guilan ( Sakenin et al. 2009), Isfahan ( Yarmand et al. 2006; Bagheri & Nasr Isfahani 2011), Razavi Khorasan ( Hooshmand 1991; Modarres Awal 1997; Mahdizadeh et al. 2014), Tehran ( Borowiec 1991; Borowiec & Anton 1993; Anton 1998), Iran (no locality cited) ( Decelle 1983; Borowiec 1985a, 1987b; Taghizadeh et al. 2010).

General distribution. Widespread in whole Palaearctic region ( Anton 2010; Augul & Al-Saffar 2016).

Host records. Calendula officinalis L. ( Asteraceae ) ( Yarmand et al. 2006), sorghum ( Taghizadeh et al. 2010), Lavandula angustifolia Mill. , Rosmarinus officinalis L. (both Lamiaceae ) ( Bagheri & Nasr Isfahani 2011), Convolvulus arvensis L. ( Convolvulaceae ) ( Valai et al. 2013; Mahdizadeh et al. 2014).

Comments. Modarres Awal (1997) reported apple, cherry, horary cress, morning glory, and pear as the hosts of S. sericeus . In Bruchinae many adults feed on various flowers but as true hosts we consider only those plant species where in seeds larvae develop.
