More than 40 species of Brachycerus are known from the Palaearctic realm, most of them in the Mediterranean region (Friedman & Sagiv 2010). The host plants and feeding plants of Brachycerus are Amaryllidaceae , Araceae , Liliaceae and interestingly also Orchidaceae ( Germann 2003 , 2009 , Friedman & Sagiv 2010).
