Craspedolepta latior Wagner 1944

Craspedolepta latior Wagner, 1944 Feeds on Collected on Artemisia sp. in Bulgaria (Głowacka and Harizanov 1983). Monophagous on Artemisia vulgaris L. in Europe (Ossiannilsson 1992, Burckhardt and Lauterer 2009). Distribution General distribution. Central, Northern and Eastern Europe, Russia (European part, Siberia and Far East), Central Asia, Mongolia, Japan (Gegechkori and Loginova 1990). Distribution in Bulgaria (Fig. 19). Published records: RRW (Głowacka and Harizanov 1983). Notes The only record of C. latior from Bulgaria as published by Głowacka and Harizanov (1983) from the Western Rhodope Mts. requires a revision, as Craspedolepta spp. associated with Artemisia spp. have often been misidentified in the past. We have not been able to confirm the occurrence of C. latior in the country from our own collections or from P. Lauterer's material in MMBC. Diagnosis Adult. Loginova (1963 a), Klimaszewski (1975), Ossiannilsson (1992), Burckhardt and Lauterer (2009). Fifth-instar immature. Ossiannilsson (1992).
