Description

Ectoedemia (Zimmermannia) amani Svensson

Fig. 7

Ectoedemia (Zimmermannia) emendata Puplesis,1985: 69 [synonymised by Puplesis 1994]

Biology. Hostplants: Ulmus sp., not reared, but barkmines often found in association with adults. Adults fly from 18 May to 19 August.

Distribution. Norway: Van Nieukerken and Johansson 1990, Germany: Pröse 2006, Biesenbaum and Rutten 2008; Great Britain: Dickerson 1995; 1996; France: Van Nieukerken et al. 2006; Poland: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1997 (records below); Czech Republic: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1991; Laštůvka et al. 1992; Slovakia: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1991; Hungary: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1997; Slovenia: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1997; Croatia: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1997; Ukraine (Crimea): Budashkin 1988; Puplesis 1994; Italy: Karsholt et al. 1995; Laštůvka and Laštůvka 2005; Greece: Laštůvka and Laštůvka 1998, Azerbaijan: Puplesis 1994. Here recorded for the first time from Bulgaria, first detailed records for Azerbaijan, Croatia and Hungary, a second record for Italy and a third and fourth for France. It also occurs in the East Palaearctic (Puplesis 1994) and is here recorded for the first time from China and Japan (Fig. 7).

Remarks. The knowledge of the distribution of this species has been increased enormously. In 1990 it was known from a number of records from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Macedonia. Now it is known from almost all European countries except the Iberian Peninsula. Since this species has a trans-palaearctic distribution, a range expansion seems a possibility. However, statistical data (see discussion) do not support an increasing proportion of this species in the total record of Nepticulidae, so that increased collection effort currently provides the best explanation.
