Remarks. L. rudicollisis a valid species near L. inaequalicollisbut clearly differs from the latter by its small body size and the female rostrum not being distinctly longer than of the male. The biology of latter species is different, since L. inaequalicollisdevelops in flowerheads of Echinops orientalisTrautv.in northeastern Turkey(Gültekin, unpublished data).
