Diagnosis. Body length 9–11 mm.Apex of clypeus laying clearly below of apices of mandibular plates (anterior view, Fig. 18 View FIGURES 13–18 ). Apices of mandibular plates twisted clearly inward and in dorsal view ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 19–25 ) apices of mandibular plates appear to extend beyond apex of clypeus (in fact, their length is almost the same). Buccula 1.3–1.5 times as high as thickness of second segment of labium. Height of eye 4.7–5.4 times the height of buccula at middle ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 ). Aedeagus with two pairs of conjunctival appendages ( Figs. 37 View FIGURES 32–37 , 44–49 View FIGURES 42–45 View FIGURES 46–49 A–C); appendages of basal pair straight and long; appendages of distal pair shorter and strongly bent almost at right angle in dorsal direction. Blade of crown of paramere ⅓ as long as stem of paramere in dorsal view. Stem at middle distinctly wider than base of crown in dorsal view ( Figs. 44–49 View FIGURES 42–45 View FIGURES 46–49 D–F). Laterotergite IX 3.0 or more times as wide as long, usually 0.8-1.0 times as long as valvifer VIII and not reaching lateral excisions of abdominal sternite VII ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 50–55 ).

The apices of mandibular plates of all Russian Eurygaster , except E. testudinaria , are almost flat and not twisted inside. Eurygaster testudinaria is very similar to E. maura in the body size and the shape of lateral margins of the pronotum. Eurygaster testudinaria differs from E. dilaticollis , E. integriceps , and E. maura in the apex of the clypeus located clearly below mandibular plates (anterior view, Figs. 13, 15, 17, 18 View FIGURES 13–18 ). Apices of mandibular plates of E. austriaca and E. laeviuscula are longer than clypeus, and they often converge in front of clypeus. Eurygaster testudinaria is smaller than E. austriaca but generally larger than E. laeviuscula . The anaterolateral margins of pronotum of E. laeviuscula is more convex than in E. testudinaria ( Figs. 23, 25 View FIGURES 19–25 ).

Natural History and Bionomics. E. testudinaria is a hygro-mesophilic species. It inhabits mostly humid biotopes such as sphagnum bogs overgrown with Eriophorum spp., the wetlands, the flooded oak forests. It is widely oligophytophagous and feeds on Poaceae ( Phleum pretense L., Bromus inermis Leyss. , Festuca spp., Dactylis glomerata L., Anthoxanthum odoratum L., Cynosurus cristatus L., Briza media L., and other species). Adults are sometimes collected on Cyperaceae ( Eriophorum spp., Scirpus spp., Carex spp.), Asteraceae ( Cirsium heterophyllum (L.) Hill, Achillea spp.), Polygonaceae ( Polygonum spp., Rumex spp.), Rosaceae ( Agrimonia spp.), Apiaceae ( Torilis spp.) ( Putchkov 1961). There is one generation per year. The hibernating stage is the imago.

Economic importance. E. testudinaria has not been reported as a pest. In the south of the Russian Far East, this species can be found on cultivated cereals ( Mishchenko 1957, Kanyukova 1995).

Distribution. The species is widely distributed in the Palearctic region and known from North Africa (northern Morocco and Tunisia), almost all of Europe (except the northern and northwestern areas of the Scandinavian Peninsula (Norway), north of Great Britain and most of Ireland), and spanning eastwards from Sinai through Georgia to Japan ( Josifov & Kerzhner 1978, Vinokurov et al. 1988, Vinokurov & Kanyukova 1995, Göllner-Scheiding 2006, Babichev & Vinokurov 2011, Syromyatnikov et al. 2017). In Russia, the species is found almost everywhere in the European Russia and South Siberia and reaching Sakhalin Island in the East; the northern border of distribution passes through the south of Republic of Karelia, the south of Arkhangelsk Province (Kotlas), through the Perm Territory and Sverdlovsk Province, the south of Tyumen (Gornoslinkino) and Tomsk (Semiluzhki) regions, the south of Krasnoyarsk Territory (Tukhtat and Lesosibirsk), through the Irkutsk region (Bunbui and Kirensk), the south of Sakha Republic (Ulahan–Botuobuya River), Khabarovsk Territory (Verkhnebureinsky District), and Sakhalin Island (the first indication from this territory).

Taxonomic notes. Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) lowered E. sinica to a subspecies of E. testudinaria . The subspecies E. t. sinica has East Palaearctic distribution and differs from the nominative subspecies by a shorter distal pair of conjunctival appendages of the aedeagus. I have studied the extensive material from the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences including specimens mentioned by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978). I did not find any difference in the structure of the aedeagus in specimens from the European part and the Far East of Russia as compared to Korean specimens, including the ratio of the lengths of the distal pair of the conjunctival appendages (they are equvalent to “Distalpare Spikula” of Josifov & Kerzhner (1978)). At the same time, I observed the variability in the length of the distal pair of conjunctival appendages of the aedeagus for specimens within the same region for both in the European part and in the Far East ( Figs. 43–48 View FIGURES 42–45 View FIGURES 46–49 ). Gaffour-Bensebbane (1992), analyzing and comparing hundreds of male and female specimens of E. testudinaria and E. sinica , also came to the conclusion that these taxa have a complete similarity in the structure of the male and female genitalia, and considered them synonymous. Comparing photos of the aedeagus of E. testudinaria from Russia and adjacent countries and the photos of the aedeagus of the holotype I did not find any differences between them ( Figs. 44–49 View FIGURES 42–45 View FIGURES 46–49 , 109–111 View FIGURES 105–111 ). The lengths of conjunctival appendages of the distal pair are very variable and cannot serve as a reliable criterion for distinguishing these subspecies.

The second feature indicated by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) for distinguishing of E. t. sinica and E. t. testudinaria is the absence of callouses at the base of the scutellum in E. t. sinica . However, in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences there are specimens from Eastern Europe, Siberia, and Mongolia with practically non-prominent callouses. At the same time, I could note that specimens with unclear callouses are much more common in Primorsky Territory of Russia and in Mongolia. On the other hand, there are specimens with a distinct contrasting pattern and clear callouses at the base of scutellum among materials from North Korea, which are mentioned by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) ( Figs. 86–97 View FIGURES 86–97 ). The fact that callouses are expressed clearly in E. sinica was mentioned by Péneau (1911). The specimens observed by Péneau are in Figs. 98–103 View FIGURES 98–104 . In Fig. 108 View FIGURES 105–111 ( E. sinicus , holotype) the callouses are clearly visible. Thus, I conclude that the presence or absence of callouses is an unreliable feature to divide the species into subspecies E. t. sinica and E. t. testudinaria .

I have studied a part of the material indicated by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978), as well as two females from Nanjing [Nanking] and one male from Gansu [Kansu nur], and did not find any differences between these specimens and specimens from other regions of Russia and Mongolia, which belong to the subspecies E. t. testudinaria ( Göllner-Scheiding 2006) . In my opinion, the material indicated by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) refers to the nominative subspecies E. t. testudinaria .

The specimens from the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences mentioned by Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) is stored in a box labeled “ Eurygaster testudinaria ”. According to Nikolay Simov (personal correspondence) the material from the National Museum of Natural History (Sofia), which was examined in this article, is also labeled as “ Eurygaster testudinaria ”.

Gaffour-Bensebbane (1992) considered that E. sinica Walker and E. testudinaria (Geoffroy) are the same species, but subdivided it into two forms: forma sinica , which corresponds to the more massive “ island form ” sensu China (1927) and forma testudinaria , which corresponds to smaller specimens from the continent—“co ntinental form ” sensu China (1927). Studying the material from Great Britain, China (1927) noted that E. testudinaria is larger than E. maura , whereas the opposite situation occurs in the material from the continent. He suggested the existence of two forms of E. testudinaria— island and continental. Thus, Gaffour-Bensebbane (1992) actually equates E. testudinaria from the United Kingdom to E. sinica sensu Péneau (1911) and Walker (1867), who indicated E. sinica from China. This view of Gaffour-Bensebbane (1992) contradicts the accepted division of E. testudinaria into subspecies E. t. testudinaria and E. t. sinica applied in the Catalog of the Heteroptera of the Palaearctic Region ( Göllner-Scheiding 2006). Thus, the size of the body is very unreliable for the division into subspecies. The body size indicated by Walker (1867) and Péneau (1911) are 4 lines and 11 millimetres, respectively. Real length of the holotype body is 9 mm ( Fig. 108 View FIGURES 105–111 ). This is within my measurements for nominative subspecies of E. testudinaria ( Tab. 1 View TABLE 1 ).

Gaffour-Bensebbane (1992) also listed other features for separation of these two forms: in E. sinica , the mandibular plates do not cover the clypeus from the sides as much as in E. testudinaria ; in f. sinica the humeral angles of the pronotum extend further beyond the margin of corium than in f. testudinaria ; at the same time, the humeral angles of the pronotum in f. testudinaria are more rounded than in E. maura ; the last three antennal segments are black in f. testudinaria , and can have different color in f. sinica (the shape and length of the antennal segments of both forms are the same); the apices of the middle genital plate of the female in f. sinica are thickened and directed backwards, whereas in f. testudinaria they are evenly rounded and directed forward (in both forms, the median genital plates never reach the margin of sternite VII). According to my observations, all these features are variable in E. testudinaria . In the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences there are specimens from the European part of Russia and from the Russian Far East with varying levels of covering of the clypeus by the mandibular plates. Additionally, the humeral angles of the pronotum can be more or less rounded and extended beyond the edge of the corium. The colour of the last three antennal segments in E. testudinaria from different regions of Russia can vary from black to brown but the apical segment is more often black.

Thus, in my opinion, it is impossible to identify the features by which one could clearly distinguish the subspecies E. t. sinica from E. t. testudinaria . Based on the foregoing discussion, E. t. sinica Walker, 1867 is synonymized with E. t. testudinaria (Geoffroy, 1785) .
