Lyda stramineipes Hartig, 1837: 347 .

Pamphilius stramineipes: Kirby, 1882: 337; Konow, 1897a: 25, 31; Gussakovskij, 1935: 184, 377; Berland, 1947: 53; Achterberg & Aartsen, 1986: 43; Shinohara, 1988b: 181; Shinohara & Hara, 1991: 734; Hara, 1993: 293; Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev, 1995: 398; Taeger et al., 1998: 105; Shinohara, 2002b: 427; Shinohara, 2004: 264; Shinohara & Hara, 2005: 275; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 938, 940; Taeger et al., 2010: 90; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 109; Sundukov, 2017: 105; Shinohara, 2019: 11; Shinohara, 2020: 15, 245.

Anoplolyda pallipes: Takeuchi, 1936a: 61 (not Zetterstedt, 1838, in part).

For more references, see Shinohara (1988b).

Material examined. About 425 specimens, including two specimens from the Russian Far East (Shinohara 1988b).

Distribution. Europe, Armenia, Russia (Siberia, Sakhalin), Japan (Hokkaido, Etorofu Is., Kunashiri Is.) (Shinohara 1988b; Sundukov & Lelej 2012).

Host plant. Rosaceae: Rosa spp. (Hara 1993; Shinohara & Hara 2005). Records of other plants in Europe ( Crataegus, Fragaria, Rubus and Sanguisorba, see Taeger et al. 1998) need confirmation.

Remarks. This species belongs to the P. stramineipes complex of the P. stramineipes subgroup of the P. vafer group (Shinohara 2002b). Shinohara (2002b) included P. stramineipes, P. thorwaldi and P. venustus complexes in his P. stramineipes subgroup, while our molecular analyses did not indicate a close relationship among the three species complexes. In our COI analysis (Fig. 151), the three specimens of P. stramineipes from Japan and Italy were retrieved as a monophyletic group (with 93% UFBoot support), which was sister (with 100% UFBoot support) to the clade of 26 specimens of P. hortorum . In the NaK analysis (Fig. 161), the two sequences of P. stramineipes from Japan formed a clade with 100% UFBoot support. This clade then came close to P. togashii and P. heecheonparki, but this relationship had low UFBoot supports of 42 and 58%.

Pamphilius stramineipes is a Palaearctic species widely spread from western Europe through Siberia and Sakhalin to Hokkaido, Japan. However, there are no collection records from other areas of the Russian Far East (e.g., Primorskij Kraj) and Korea.
