Puklina Graham 1991

Description

Puklina Graham, 1991

(Figs 33 A–F)

The tetrastichine genus Puklina was erected for two species, P. amblyteles Graham, 1991 (type-species) and P. depilata Graham, 1991. There is no information on the host of P. amblyteles, but P. depilata was described from specimens emerging from seeds of A. ? cerasiferus (mentioned as ‘ Asphodelus “cerasifer” [probably = ramosus L. of Flora Europaea]’ (Graham 1991: 167) containing Eurytomidae collected in France (Provence), and from seeds of A. ramosus collected in Greece (Kos). A further three species of Puklina associated with Eurytomidae in seeds of Xanthorrhoeaceae have been more recently described but two are here synonymised under P depilata.
