Comments

This species is distributed locally in the Caucasian region and is strictly bound to Corylus avellana L. (Putshkov 1970). We examined many specimens collected from Corylus avellana along the Black Sea region, from Bartın in the west to Trabzon in the east. Specimens from Ordu (Fig. 10A–C) were collected with Orthonotus rufifrons (Fallén, 1807), Phylus (Phylus) coryli (Linnaeus, 1758) and Leucodellus zagdani (V.G. Putshkov, 1970). The newly recorded species appears very similar to Globiceps sphaegiformis (Rossi, 1790), a species associated with Quercus spp., but differs from it by the shape of the callosity of anterior lobe of pronotum, which projects upward to form a distinct horn in the latter (Fig. 10D) but does not project at all and forms a rectangle in the former (Fig. 10B) (Putshkov 1970).
