Entomologia Hellenica 21 (2012): 74-76.

In March 2012 Paysandisia archon, Lepidoptera: Castniidae, a palm tree pest, was found for the first tittle in the endemic palm species of Crete Phoenix theophrasti. The infestation was detected in the premises of the Technological Educational Institute in Heraklion, Crete. Information on its biology, morphology and distribution is given.

On May 2007, the lily beetle Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was recorded for the first time in Greece. Its occurrence was observed on scarlet martagon lily and martagon lily plants at Fylaktí, Karditsa. Information on its morphology, biology and distribution is presented.

GANEVA D. AND M. KALMUSHKA. The tabanid fauna (Diptera: Tabanidae) of the Chirpan Eminences (Bulgaria)

The study of the Chirpan Eminences tabanid fauna was completed by means of a route collec-tion in 2008 and regular monthly collections from two localities during the active tabanid sea-sons in years 2010-2011. The research resulted in the capturing of 1202 tabanid specimens, 1124 of them were females and 78 males. Within this collected sample 24 species and subspe-cies from 8 genera were determined: Chrysops (2 species), Atylotus (1 species), Therioplectes (1 species and 1 subspecies), Hybomitra (3 species), Tabanus (12 species and 1 subspecies), Haematopota (1 species), Dasyrhamphis (1 species) and Philipomyia (1 species). On the basis of literary data and of the species identified in this research, it may be asserted that the tabanid fauna in the Chirpan Eminences is represented by 28 species. Thirteen of them were identified for the first time for this region. From a zoogeographical point of view, predominant for the tabanid fauna of the Chirpan Eminences are the elements of the Mediterranean subregional fauna (64.29 % of the species).

Several papers have been published on aphid fauna in Greece during the last two decades, but the number of recorded species is still low compared to other European countries, including some from the Mediterranean basin. In this context, we collected aphids from various host-plants and regions in southern, central and northern Greece characterized by diverse flora, cli-matic conditions and ecological habitats. In total, 128 aphid species belonging to 55 genera and six subfamilies were collected on 200 host-species. Most of the species dominated the subfami-ly Aphidinae (especially tribes Macrosiphini and Aphidini). Among the species collected, 18 were new records in Greece. The present work improves our knowledge regarding the aphid fauna of Greece and suggests that the number of recorded species could increase further if additional studies were undertaken.
