Diversity of the genus

Filiella comprises only one species known on several host plant such as on Angelica, Apium, Archangelica, Astrantia, Eremodaucus, Heracleum, Laserpitium, Libanotis, Pastinaca, and other hosts (Apiaceae). Filiella seems to be host specific. Filiella is reported from Caucasus, Central Asia, Europe, N. America and S. Africa (Braun 1995).  Numerous new taxa remain to be described, but only a small fraction of Filiella has been reported so far. Re-collection of Filiella is needed as molecular data is limited for the genus.
