Eryngiofaga Klimaszewski

Remarks.

Eryngiofaga is a palaearctic genus comprising 13 described species ( Loginova 1977). Based on the paramere shape, two species groups can be recognised. The Eryngiofaga mesomela group, with digitiform parameres bearing a small basal sclerotised process on the inner face, includes E. babugani (Loginova, 1964), E. deserta , E. dlabolai ( Vondráček, 1957), E. lautereri , E. loewiana and E. mesomela . The Eryngiofaga congenita group, with lamellar or triangular parameres bearing a large sclerotised process usually arising on the inner face from the middle, is composed of E. armeniaca (Gegechkori, 1974), E. congenita (Loginova, 1966), E. hungarica , E. maga (Loginova, 1966), E. matura and E. refuga (Loginova, 1966). An additional species, E. expectata , is known from a single female only.
