Raphidia (Raphidia) mysia H. Aspoeck, U. Aspoeck & Rausch, 1991 View in CoL

Raphidia (Raphidia) mysia H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck & Rausch, 1991 (mon, odescr): H. Aspöck and Hölzel 1996 (distr); H. Aspöck et al. 2001 (anncat); H. Aspöck 2012 (cat); H. Aspöck and U. Aspöck 2013 (cat, etymol), 2014 (cat).

Taxonomy.

H. Aspöck et al. (1991). Eidonomically very similar and closely related to several other species of the genus ( R. beieri , R. ambigua ); by characters of the male genitalia, however, easily to be identified.

Biology and ecology.

Larvae at least also corticolous (findings on oak), but probably mainly soil-dwelling. Development two years. Last hibernating stage: full-grown larva. Adults: V(-VI). Euryoecious! Often high population densities in various habitats (e.g. light forests, pastures with small areas of shrubs) and on different plants: Pistacia terebinthus , Pistacia lentiscus , Phillyrea trifolia , Pinus halepensis .

Records on Mediterranean islands

(Fig. 11a View Figure 11 ). So far only on Lesbos. Syntopic Raphidioptera (on Lesbos): Phaeostigma (Aegeoraphidia) raddai .

Continental distribution.

NW-Anatolia.

Biogeography.

Stationary Anatolopontomediterranean faunal element.
