(Figs. 1 D, 3E–F, 4A, 5, 6C, 7, 9, 11, 12)
Phytocoris longipennis Flor, 1861: 593, 601 (sp. nov.); Schuh, 1995: 890 (cat.); Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999: 157 (cat.); Yasunaga, 2001: 255 (diag.); Zheng et al., 2004: 495 (diag.); Wheeler et al. 2006: 1000 (N.Am. record); Schuh, 2002– 2014: (cat.).
Diagnosis. Recognized by its moderate size; brown, somewhat mottled dorsum; longer and more slender appendages than other congeners; antennal segment I longer than mesal length of head and pronotal length; segment III longer than basal width of pronotum; ratio of hind tibia: pronotum over 3.5; male genitalia as in Figs. 7, 9, Female genitalia as in Fig. 12. For more diagnostic character, description and figures, see below papers (Wagner & Weber, 1964, Kerzhner, 1988a, Zheng et al., 2004, Wheeler et al., 2006, Yasunaga & Schwartz, 2015).
Distribution. Europe, Korea, North America, Far-East Russia.
Host plants. Associated with various deciduous broadleaves; Acer spp. (Aceraceae), Alnus spp., Betula spp., Corylus spp. (Betulaceae), Fagus spp., Quercus spp. (Fagaceae), Fraxinus spp. (Oleaceae), Crataegus spp., Malus spp., Prunus spp., Sorbus spp. (Rosaceae), Platanus spp. (Platanaceae), Populus spp., Salix spp., (Salicaceae), Tilia spp. (Tiliaceae) (Wheeler et al., 2006, Yasunaga & Schwartz, 2015).
