Iran , China , Tajikistan , Uzbekistan , Turkmenistan ; Central Asia, Mongolia , Russia (western Siberia), Middle East, Egypt , Caucasus, Europe ( GEGECHKORI & LOGINOVA 1990 , BURCKHARDT & LAUTERER 1997 ). Host plants. Artemisia spp. ( Asteraceae ) ( BAEVA 1985 , GEGECHKORI & LOGINOVA 1990 , BURCKHARDT & LAUTERER 1997 , LI 2011 ). Comments. The specimens examined from Tangi Gharu have short, broadly conical genal processes (usually absent in B. perrisii ). They resemble, however, specimens from Europe and Iraq (MMBC) in other characters including the structure of the male terminalia. A variation of the shape of the genae is also known from other Bactericera spp. ( BURCKHARDT & LAUTERER 1997 ).
