Description
Spermophagus sericeus (Geoffroy, 1785)
Distribution in Iran. Alborz, East Azarbaijan (Delobel 2011), Fars (Valai et al. 2013), Guilan (Sakenin et al. 2009), Isfahan (Yarmand et al. 2006; Bagheri & Nasr Isfahani 2011), Razavi Khorasan (Hooshmand 1991; Modarres Awal 1997; Mahdizadeh et al. 2014), Tehran (Borowiec 1991; Borowiec & Anton 1993; Anton 1998), Iran (no locality cited) (Decelle 1983; Borowiec 1985a, 1987b; Taghizadeh et al. 2010).
General distribution. Widespread in whole Palaearctic region (Anton 2010; Augul & Al-Saffar 2016).
Host records. Calendula officinalis L. (Asteraceae) (Yarmand et al. 2006), sorghum (Taghizadeh et al. 2010), Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Rosmarinus officinalis L. (both Lamiaceae) (Bagheri & Nasr Isfahani 2011), Convolvulus arvensis L. (Convolvulaceae) (Valai et al. 2013; Mahdizadeh et al. 2014).
Comments. Modarres Awal (1997) reported apple, cherry, horary cress, morning glory, and pear as the hosts of S. sericeus. In Bruchinae many adults feed on various flowers but as true hosts we consider only those plant species where in seeds larvae develop.
