Arocatus roeselii |
| Subspecies No subspecies are recognized. Original description Synonyms Lygaeus roeselii Schilling, 1829 Arocatus roeselii
(Schilling, 1829)
Arocatus roeselii roeselii
(Schilling, 1829)
Arocatus roeselii
collaris Puton, 1875 (nomen nudum)Arocatus roeselii intermedius Puton, 1878 Arocatus roeselii barrosii Seabra, 1930 Arocatus rhoeselii royeri Seabra, 1930 (original lapsus) Arocatus roeselii seabrai Stichel, 1957 Note: the listing of Cimex triangularis and its synonyms as synonyms of the present species is incorrect. Identification Size: 6-7.2 mm. Distribution This species occurs in western Asia, and south and central Europe. However, it has been frequently confused with the very similar Arocatus longiceps. Thus, most records of the present species require confirmation. It appears to be very rare in Germany. Confirmed records exist for Rheinland-Pfalz and Bayern. Biology The host plants are alder (Alnus) and other broadleaf trees. The reports of plane (Platanus) as host plant is likely to be incorrect and probably results from confusion with Arocatus longiceps. Overwintering imagines can be found from March and second generation imagines are present from June. |
