Pristiphora depressa (Hartig, 1840) *

Material.

Varna: 2♀, Staro Oryahovo 2 km SW, 120 m, 42.976N, 27.787E, 09.04.2018. 1♀, Dolni Chiflik 2 km SE, 50 m, 42.983N, 27.743E, 13.04.2018.

All specimens were swept from Acer campestre , which is almost certainly the larval host, because no other Acer species was present at these localities. Pristiphora depressa is under-recorded, because it was until recently mixed up with P. subbifida (Thomson, 1871), but apparently has a wide distribution in Europe from Sweden to southern Italy ( Prous et al. 2017).
