Subgenus Phaeostigma Aegeoraphidia H. Aspoeck, U. Aspoeck & Rausch, 1991 View in CoL

Aegeoraphidia H. Aspöck & U. Aspöck & Rausch, 1991 (odescr, mon) [type species by original designation: Raphidia (Phidiara) raddai U. Aspöck & H. Aspöck, 1969]. H. Aspöck et al. 1991 (mon); H. Aspöck 2002 (biol); H. Aspöck 2012 (cat); H. Aspöck and U. Aspöck 2013 (cat, etymol), 2014 (cat).

Taxonomy.

H. Aspöck et al. (1991). This subgenus comprises two groups of species - the Raphidia raddai - Raphidia ressli group with five species ( Ph. (Ae.) raddai , Ph. (Ae.) ressli , Ph. (Ae.) porphetica , Ph. (Ae.) biroi , and Ph. (Ae.) vartianorum ) and the Phaeostigma noane group with two species ( Ph. (Ae.) noane and Ph. (Ae.) remane ). Of these, four species occur on Mediterranean islands. Aegeoraphidia can be clearly differentiated from other subgenera particularly by characters of the male genitalia. The sister group of the subgenus is still unknown.

Biology and ecology.

Larvae of all species principally soil-dwelling, but larvae of some species can also be found under bark of various trees. Development two or Subilla three years. Adults: IV-VI, in various habitats in altitudes of 0-2200 m.

Distribution.

The distribution of Aegeoraphidia comprises Crete, several islands in the eastern Aegean Sea, western, southern, and southeastern Anatolia, and northern Iraq.
