Comment. Campylomma Reuter, 1878 is a diverse genus with plenty of similar species ( KONSTANTINOV et al. 2016). In most cases, species of this genus can only be distinguished by the shape of their vesica. In recent years, four Campylomma species were recorded from Turkey for the first time ( KONSTANTINOV et al. 2016; ÇERÇI & KOÇAK 2017a,b). Recently, the first author collected a series of a remarkably small Campylomma species by light traps. Examination of vesica showed that this species did not correspond to any Campylomma species known from the West Palaearctic Region. After considering the East Palaearctic species of Campylomma , we reached the conclusion that our specimens belong to Campylomma miyamotoi Yasunaga, 2001 , a species known from Japan and Korea ( DUWAL et al. 2013, YASUNAGA et al. 2015). The host plant of C. miyamotoi is Albizia julibrissin D., a tree whose original range extended from China and Korea to Azerbaijan and Iran ( KARAER et al. 2015). Albizia julibrissin has been planted as an ornamental tree in Turkey since the 18 th century. It grows on the whole coastline of Turkey as well as in regions with temperate climate ( KARAER et al. 2015). Our light traps were located next to an A. julibrissin tree. The finding of C. miyamotoi in Izmir, Turkey is quite interesting. It is highly possible that this species was introduced to Turkey by man but there is also the possibility that the species, even if known only from EastAsia, is present throughout the whole distribution range of the host plant, from Japan to Turkey. Living adults, male ( Fig. 5B ) and female ( Fig. 5C ), a mounted male ( Fig. 3A ) and vesica ( Fig. 3B ) are illustrated. An identification key to distinguish Campylomma species known from Turkey is provided below.

Distribution in Turkey. İzmir (this work).
