Brachycerus cinereus OLIVIER, 1807

One specimen of B. cinereus was found feeding on the endemic Galanthus elwesii on the Oros Ambelos (Fig. 2), a genus which was not yet documented as a feeding plant for any Brachycerus .

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).
