• [Orobanchaceae:] Pedicularis oederi (Buntes Läusekraut)

Kozlov et al. (2019: 79) schreiben zur Art: "A locally abundant Beringian species, which lives on Pedicularis oederi Wahl. (Kuznetsov 1978). The foodplant has a gap in distribution between Scandinavian mountain regions and northern Russia (Hultén 1986), which may explain the absence of this species in northern Fennoscandia."

4.2. Faunistik

Die Art wurde aus Nordamerika ("nordic America") beschrieben. Kozlov et al. (2019) melden sie vom Autonomem Kreis der Nenzen im Norden des europäischen Teils von Russland. Kullberg et al. (2018) berichteten über einen Fund nahe der europäisch-asiatischen Grenze hoch im Norden Russlands von der Insel Dolgij zwischen russischem Festland und Novaya Zemlya: "Dolgij 4.–15.vii.2004 3 Own data ZISP". Sie kommentieren ihren Fund: "This species was reported from Eastern Europe by Karsholt and Razowski (1996), subsequently included into the Fauna Europaea (without any distribution record) and listed for the Nenets Autonomous Okrug by Sinev (2008). However, we were unable to locate any specimen of this species originating from Europe or a published information listing exact locality data. The former westernmost records of this Beringian species were from Taymyr Pns. (Kozlov et al. 2006) and Amderma (Kullberg et al. 2013). In Greenland and Ellesmere Island, the larva of this species bores the stems and roots of several species of Pedicularis (MacKay and Downes 1969)."
