Description

Claremontia confusa (Konow, 1886) sp. rev.

Fig. 7A

Blennocampa confusa Konow, 1886b: 82. ♀. Type locality: Germany. Neotype ♀ (ZMHB) designated by Koch (1988). Synonymy with Claremontia brevicornis proposed by Koch (1988), wherein he overlooked the priority of the name Claremontia brevicornis (Blank and Taeger 1998). Monophadnoides confusa: Benson (1952); treated as species distinct from M. puncticeps, cultivated Fragaria species recorded as hosts of larva.

Biology.

Substantiating the statement about the host plant by Benson (1952), the ZMUO specimens, collected in the Helsinki area, were reared from larvae feeding on cultivated Fragaria.
