Comments

Plagiognathus reuterellus Schuh, 2001 (new name for P. flavipes Reuter, 1875) was recorded from Antalya, Turkey, by Lodos et al. (2003). A re-examination of the specimens from Antalya revealed that they belong to a new Orthotylus species that is closely related to Orthotylus (Orthotylus) troodensis Wagner, 1961 and Orthotylus (Parapachylops) bureschi Josifov, 1969 . However, during our research in LEMT, we discovered specimens of P. reuterellus that had not been published before. These specimens were collected from Mardin, Derik on 4 Jun. 1976, on Lonicera sp. (Adıgüzel & Önder leg.).
