Abstract

Abstract

The genus Apodiphus Spinola is redefined on the basis of external structures and male and female genitalia and is compared with Paranevisanus Distant. This new definition of Apodiphus, based on its type-species, A. amygdali (Germ.), excludes A. pilipes Horváth. Neonevisanus Distant is synonymised with Apodiphus Spinola and the type-species of the genus Neonevisanus, (N. rugosus Dist.) is synonymised with A. integriceps Horváth. Neonevisanus pallidus Hoberlandt (=A. siazovi Kirich. syn. n.) is transferred to Apodiphus and A. amygdali, A. integriceps, A. pallidus and A. murghzarus sp. n. are described in detail, with illustrations. The species of Apodiphus feed on almond, apple and other deciduous trees. The genus ranges from Italy in the west to N. India in the east, generally at relatively low altitudes up to 1600 m. Its probable centre of origin is Iran, where three out of the four species are found. A. amygdali is the only European species.
