Comments

This Sibero-European species has been recorded from numerous localities in Central Anatolian, Mediterranean and Black Sea regions of Turkey by Yiğit & Uygun (1982) and Lodos et al. (2003). However, after re-examination of voucher specimens, we discovered that all records of this species by Lodos et al. (2003) and Yiğit & Uygun (1982) refer to other species. Specimens from Kastamonu and Boyabat, Sinop, were females and could not be identified to species level but refer to P. ( Phytocoris ) sp. The female specimen from Zonguldak refers to an unidentified P. (Exophytocoris) sp. and the rest of the specimens refer to P. (Exophytocoris) scitulus scitulus .
