Calvolia sp.

Material examined: 3♀♀ ( Fatsa , 11.08.2015) , 5♀♀ (Altınordu, 31.07.2015) , 1♀ ( Perşembe , 12.08.2015) , 6♀♀ ( Kabadüz , 09.08.2016) , 2♀♀ (Altınordu, 29.06.2016) .

Comments: Different species within the genus Calvolia have been reported from Germany ( Moser and Bogenschütz, 1984), Bangladesh ( Gupta and Sanyal, 2004), Poland, America and Ukrain ( Krantz and Walter, 2009). In Turkey, Calvolia sp. was collected from vegetable (Soysal, 2016) and stone fruit (AltunÇ and Akyazı, 2019) leaves in Ordu. Calvolia spp. are deemed fungivorous by Krantz and Walter (2009).

In spite of seventeen females in the material, the species could not be identified to species level because of their damaged body parts, poor preparation of slides, lack of literature. This is an issue for future research to explore.
