Abstract
Adults of Bangasternus orientalis (Capiomont) were collected on Centau rea calcitrapa L., purple starthistle (PST) and C. solstitialis L., ye llow starthistle (YST) in Greece. The adults collected on YST did not breed on PST and the adults collected on PST did not breed on YST, ind icating that they are two biotypes, each one specialized on one Centau rea species.
