Biology.
Floodplains and xerothermic slopes. Adults occur in IV–VII. Imago on
Ranunculus polyanthemus
,
R. acris
(Ranunculaceae)
. Larvae in rhizoma and roots of
R. polyanthemus
and in soil. Pupation in ground cell. Hibernates imago in pupal cells or after the emergence in the ground or leaf litter (Nazarenko 1997).
Notes.
Historical records of
Minyops variolosus
(Fabricius 1775)
from
Ukraine
(
Chernay 1854
;
Łomnicki 1875
;
1884
,
Cherkunov 1889: 193
;
Meregalli 2004
f) are remaining unclear, on the other hand that specis was considered a junior synonym of
M. carinatus
(
Daniel 1908
;
Burakowski
et al
. 1995
). According to the recent revision (
Osella & Bellò 2009
)
M. costalis
is distributed in
Ukraine
. We suggest that
M. costalis
occurs only in north and central provinces, while
M. minutus minutus
Boh.
is restricted to south provinces of
Ukraine
. Since the most of historical records are based on misidentifications and non-applicable they were rejected in this paper.
