Styphlus oros

Description

Styphlus oros (REITTER, 1889) (Fig. 11) and S. penicillus SCHöNHERR, 1826.

S. penicillus was beaten during the night from the Reichardia cf. picroides (Asteraceae) at a beach. Bayer & al. (2007) reported on finds of the similar S. jonicus (Reitter, 1899) from an undetermined Asteraceae, but also from numerous finds on Fabaceae.

With Styphlus oros another species of the genus was sifted from leaf litter in two specimens in an olive orchard near Kamara (no. 16). The habitat lies within the immediate surroundings of an olive tree, where several Hieracium sp. (Asteraceae) were growing, their possible host plant. Another specimen was sifted from leaf litter under cushion plants on the Oros Kerkis.
