Comments

This species is distributed locally in the Caucasian region and is strictly bound to Corylus avellana L. ( Putshkov 1970). We examined many specimens collected from Corylus avellana along the Black Sea region, from Bartın in the west to Trabzon in the east. Specimens from Ordu ( Fig. 10A–C ) were collected with Orthonotus rufifrons (Fallén, 1807) , Phylus (Phylus) coryli (Linnaeus, 1758) and Leucodellus zagdani (V.G. Putshkov, 1970) . The newly recorded species appears very similar to Globiceps sphaegiformis (Rossi, 1790) , a species associated with Quercus spp. , but differs from it by the shape of the callosity of anterior lobe of pronotum, which projects upward to form a distinct horn in the latter ( Fig. 10D ) but does not project at all and forms a rectangle in the former ( Fig. 10B ) ( Putshkov 1970).
