Distribution of Stephanitis oschanini Vasiliev, 1935 (light grey area and black points) and S. pyri (Fabricius, 1775) (dark grey area). The regions with unconfirmed occurrence of S. pyri are marked by?. Due to the revalidation of S. oschanini , the distribution of the true S. pyri remains confused. It has been recorded from Albania , Austria ,? Belgium , Bosnia Hercegovina, Bulgaria , Croatia , Czech Republic , France , Germany , Greece , Hungary , Italy , Kazakhstan (European part – Ural’sk), Macedonia, Moldavia , Poland , Portugal , Romania , Russia (Central and South European Territory), Serbia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Spain , Switzerland , Turkey (European part), Ukraine ; Algeria , Morocco ; Azerbaijan, Georgia,? Kazakhstan (Asian part),? Turkey (Asian part), Cyprus ,? Israel , and? Jordan ( PÉRICART & GOLUB 1996 , CHUMAKOV et al. 1997 , PROTIĆ 1998 , KATBEH et al. 2000 , GOLUB 2002 , BAUGNÉE et al. 2003 , KMENT et al. 2005 , this paper; see Fig. 1 ). GOLUB (2002) confirmed the occurrence of S. pyri in Russia , European part of Kazakhstan , Gruzia and Azerbaijan. The records from Asian part of Kazakhstan , Asian part of Turkey , Israel , and Jordan need further confirmation, because the presence of both species in these countries is possible. Published data on the biology of S. pyri in Turkey may concern S. pyri as well as S. oschanini (e.g., ÖNUÇAR & ULU 1989 , GÜPLERÇİN & ÖNDER 1999, ÇINAR et al. 2004 ), BOLU et al. 2005 ). Confirmed occurrence in Bosnia Hercegovina and the European part of Turkey .
