Bryobia rubrioculus ( Scheuten, 1857)

Specimens examined. 3♀♀, Prunus sp., Solenoozerny area , BSBR (46°27'N, 31°58'E), 13.06.2015, O. Zhovnerchuk ; 8♀♀, Prunus sp., Solenoozerny area , BSBR (46°27'N, 31°59'E), 17.06.2015, O. Zhovnerchuk .

Despite its wide distribution in the world ( Migeon & Dorkeld, 2006 –2018), the species is not very common in the reserve. Indeed, it was found on only two occasions on Prunus sp. among 16 Rosaceae samples collected (11 Prunus sp., 3 Malus sp., 1 Pyrus sp. and 1 Cydonia sp.).
