Comments: This Holomediterranean species has been found for the first time from Asia Minor (= Anatolia) by Horváth (1906) without a locality detail. It was found in this study on cherry leaf in Amasya, on Rosa sp. in Artvin and on pear leaf in Tekirdağ. Turkish records prior to Kment c Jindra (2006) needs revision due to possible misidentification of S. oschanini .
