Abstract

The genus Nanomicrophyes is a Tertiary relict that includes 2 subgenera, one of which is distributed in the Caucasus, and the other in the Sino-Tibetan Mountains in China. R. Caldara and B. Korotyaev supposed that the host plant of Nanomicrophyes might belong to the genus Pedicularis L. of the Orobanchaceae Vent., and this assumption has been confirmed by the author in the field research in China and the Caucasus.
