Notes

The report by Konov (1961) on B. nigricornis from Allium cepa could concern the similar Bactericera tremblayi (Wagner, 1961) , which is known from onion and leek crops in neighbouring countries ( Serbia, Greece and Turkey: Jerinić-Prodanović (2010), Ouvrard and Burckhardt (2012)), but has not been documented from Bulgaria.
