Camptotylus reuteri Jakovlev, 1881: 196 .

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the presence of a dark ring at base of antennal segment II, mottled color pattern of dorsum, color pattern of hind femora, well-developed sensory lobe of the left paramere, shape of apex of the theca, strong dentation of the vesica, and ratios. Most similar in the structure of the male genitalia, coloration of dorsum and antennae to C. reamuriae , but this species is smaller, more faintly colored, with reduced pale brown medioapical spot and spots on hind femora.

DESCRIPTION: VESTITURE: Dorsal surface with mixture of dark brown and silvery-white, long, reclining to adpressed simple setae (fig. 47). Silvery-white setae located on whitish areas of dorsum while dark setae located on greenish areas and generally predominate on apical parts of corium and on cuneus. Entire ventral surface with silver setae. Inner surface of antennal segment I, foremargin of hind femora (fig. 50), and apices of fore- and middle femora with robust brown spinelike setae. Vestiture on legs and antennae pale, reclining to suberect.

COLORATION: Dorsal surface (fig. 43) greenish, with indistinctly bordered whitish areas. Antennal segment I with darkened base and two fused pale brown dots at bases of medial spines; antennal segment II darkened at very base, usually more or less brown apically and sometimes with indistinct pale brown ring at middle. Head, pronotum, and scutellum pale greenish, with indistinct whitish, usually rounded areas. Forewings greenish, basal part of clavus, middle part of corium, and base of cuneus with irregularly shaped whitish areas. Medioapical area of corium with conspicuous brown roundish spot. Membrane transparent, apically infuscate, laterally with indistinct brown rectangular spot behind apically infuscate cells. Apical parts of fore- and middle femora with round dark spots on ventral surfaces and few spots on dorsal surfaces. Hind femora with a series of round spots running along foremargins; adjacent area of ventral surface with irregularly shaped spots often fused into transverse stripes. Tibiae with brown dots at bases of dark tibial spines. Ventral surface uniformly pale.

MALE GENITALIA: Left paramere (figs. 27, 28) with well-developed, contrastingly long and thin sensory lobe, apical process large and curved, apically dentate; central process large, with laterally directed, large, twisted hooklike apex. Right paramere simple, elongate oval, with indistinct constriction at middle. Apex of theca (fig. 15) straight and narrow, with straight, smoothly broadened at base sclerotized process. Vesica (fig. 2) S-formed, apical strap with area of dentation almost reaching secondary gonopore, smoothly tapering and curved at middle.

STRUCTURE AND MEASUREMENTS: Total length male 2.28 (2.2–2.3), female 2.35 (2.3– 2.5). Head: width male 0.55 (0.53–0.58), female 0.56 (0.55–0.58); vertex width male 0.30 (0.29–0.33), female 0.33 (0.33); antennal segment I male 0.28 (0.28–0.30), female 0.26 (0.25–0.28); antennal segment II male 1.18 (1.13–1.20), female 0.99 (0.95–1.08). Pronotum: width male 0.76 (0.75–0.80), female 0.81 (0.80–0.83); length male 0.36 (0.35–0.38), female 0.36 (0.35–0.38).

Body elongate oval, females more stumpy, lateral sides of forewings broadly ovate, male 2.9–3.1 X, female 2.9–3.1 X as long as width of pronotum; vertex male 2.4–2.6 X, female 2.6–2.9 X as wide as eye; antennal segment I short, male 0.7–0.8 X, female 0.7 X as long as pronotum; antennal segment II male 1.5–1.6 X, female 1.2–1.3 X as long as basal width of pronotum, male 2.1–2.3 X, female 1.7–1.9 X as long as width of head. Labium with somewhat swollen apex of segment III and base of segment IV; reaching middle coxae. Hind femora distinctly swollen.

DISTRIBUTION: Greece ( Reuter, 1891), Cyprus ( Wagner, 1975), Syria ( Wagner, 1975), Asian part of Turkey ( Hoberlandt, 1956), Armenia *, Azerbaijan ( Gidayatov and Atakishieva, 1972), southern part of European Russia (Krasnodar Prov., Chechnya, Dagestan, Astrakhan’ Prov.), Ukraine, NW Kazakhstan *, Uzbekistan *, Turkmenistan *, Mongolia *, North China (Hsiao and Meng, 1963; Qi et al., 1995).
