Abstract

Phaonia cincta Zetterstedt, 1846 is newly recorded for central and southern parts of European Russia. The female of P. cincta was never properly described; its redescription is given. After examination of previously unknown series of topotypes of P. juglans Sorokina, 2015 we came to a conclusion that this species should be synonymized to P. cincta (syn. nov.). In such a wide sense Phaonia cincta also occurs in Central Asia. Association of larvae and imagoes of P. cincta with broad-leaf trees is discussed.
