Aelia klugii

Aelia klugii , also known as Striped Spitz Ling known is a Wanzenart from the family of stink bugs (Pentatomidae). Along with Aelia acuminata and Aelia rostrata, it is one of the three species of the genus Aelia that occurs in Central Europe.

features

The 6.5–8.2 mm long bugs are olive green to brownish in color. They have an elongated, pointed head. The species differs from the very similar grain bug ( Aelia acuminata ) in the shape of the head and in at most one, instead of two, small black spots on the middle and hind legs. Of Aelia rostrata the presence distinguishes a longitudinal black stripe on the corium of the wings half ceilings. The species is clearly recognizable by the following characteristic apart from the color characteristics: The cheeks (genae) of the head have a large, rounded tubercle towards the tip, which protrudes laterally when viewed from above, this is absent in all related species.

distribution

The species occurs in the Palearctic . It is widespread in Europe, but rare. To the east, it is distributed over Siberia to the Far East (Korea). In Lower Austria, Bavaria and Thuringia, the population of the bug species is considered "endangered" and is on the red list. In Germany, the species was classified in the 1998 Red List in the “R” category (species with geographical restriction).

Way of life

Aelia klugii prefers dry grass locations . The bugs suckle on various grasses (Poaceae). According to observations in the laboratory, Tischler indicates the genera Festuca and Poa as hosts . Since the species occasionally sucks on grain (especially wheat), it is occasionally considered a (insignificant) grain pest.

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1833 by Carl Wilhelm Hahn (in Hahn and Herrich-Schäffer) and named in honor of Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug . The type locality is the area of ​​Nuremberg. It belongs to the Aelia acuminata species group within the genus , which comprises a total of nine species. The species name is widely used in the misspelling Aelia klugi (with only an i), for example in the directory of bedbugs in Central Europe. The following synonyms are known from the literature : Aelia angusta Stehlík , 1976, Aelia henschi angusta Stehlík , 1976, Aelia klugi orientalis Josifov , 1984. If one follows this view, there are no more subspecies with the exception of the nominate form .
