Aphalara sauteri Burckhardt 1983

Aphalara sauteri Burckhardt, 1983 Notes The records of A. sauteri Burckhardt, 1983 published from the Pirin Mountains by Głowacka (1989) are attributed here to A. nigrimaculosa, based on the material collected in the same area and examined by the authors. Both A. nigrimaculosa and A. sauteri are similar in morphology and it is likely that Głowacka's material was misidentified. Aphalara sauteri is distributed in the Alps, Slovakia and Spain and its presence in Bulgaria is doubtful (Burckhardt and Lauterer 1997 a).
