Sesia minianiformis Freyer, 1843 View in CoL : Neuere Beiträge zur Schmetterlingskunde mit Abbildungen nach der Natur: 35, pl. 404, Fig. 3 View FIGURES 3–10 . Type material and locality: not stated.

Sesia miniacea v. pepsiformis Lederer, 1853 : Verhandlungen des zoologisch-botanischen Vereins in Wien, Abhandlungen 2 [“1852”]: 69, 90. Syntypes: Brussa [ Turkey, Bursa] (lost? not in MFNB).

The nominal subspecies is characterized by the most extensive orange-red coloration of all subspecies. Furthermore, it has the forewing discal spot more or less orange-red suffused and broad yellow inner margins of the tegulae.

Biology and habitat. The hostplants of this subspecies are bitter-tasting species of Rumex (docks), such as R. conglomeratus , R. crispus , R. maritimus or R. pulcher ( Laštůvka 2007, our own observations). The larvae, often several together, feed in the main root of their host. Development takes one year. Pupation takes place in the gallery of the larva in a silk-spun chamber at the base of a more or less long corridor, which is closed by a thin layer of bark or spun saw-dust.

Distribution. The nominal subspecies is limited to the southern Balkan Peninsula, including Greece and Bulgaria and north-western Turkey ( Špatenka et al. 1999, our own results). Based on Gorbunov (pers. communication), this species is absent from Crimea. The distribution map given by Laštůvka & Laštůvka (1995, 2001) suggests a continuous occurrence throughout entire Anatolia, for which we have, however, not found any evidence.
