Dasyhelea tessicola Remm

Dasyhelea tessicola Remm, 1972: 74 (male, Russia: Tuva, Zabaykalsky Krai); Damian-Georgescu 1975: 97 (male, Romania); Szadziewski 1985: 86 (male).

Distribution. Romania, Russia (Tuva, Zabaykalsky Krai).

Discussion. The record from Germany ( Havelka & Aguilar 1999) is questionable because it did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included this country in this section.

Dasyhelea thienemanni Sp ă taru & Damian-Georgescu

Dasyhelea thienemanni Spätaru & Damian-Georgescu, 1970: 425 (larva, pupa, male, female; Romania); Szadziewski 1986: 42 (= D. notata sensu Remm , Bulgaria, Poland).

Nec D. notata Goetghebuer, 1920 . Dasyhelea semistriata: Zilahi-Sebess 1940: 52 (male, Slovakia). Nec D. semistriata Goetghebuer, 1921 .

Discussion. Dasyhelea thienemanni is a European arboreal faunal element. Records based on females from Germany by Havelka (1976a) are doubtful. The records from Latvia and Moldova ( Remm 1988) are questionable because they did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included these countries in this section.
