Nevertheless GUÉRIN did not specify about number of specimens examined, so me too I deem more advisable to designated it as Lectotype.</p> <p>V a r i a b i l i t y the specimen from Syria is darker than lectotype, lacking light stains on N 1 disk. The propodeal disk show transversal wrinkles along its sides. The median furrow is well expressed [it is well expressed in the lectotype too, the drawing by BONI BARTALUCCI (2001: fig 46) being a little inexact].</p> <p>D i s c u s s i o n: Most of the male specimens from Syria show a little darker (black to brown black) basic colour than Lectotype and Persian specimens, nevertheless some of them too have metameri light brown coloured. The yellow colour is somehow variable especially on N 1 disk. The basic body colour of the male specimens from Khuzestan is brown and slightly differ from the lectotype of M. arabica in the lateral profile of the N 1 disk in dorsal aspect; four of them also have more haired volsella compared with Syrian specimens.</p> <p>A lot of specimens, males and females belonging undoubtly to the same taxon (a couple taken in copula from Egypt), come from Israel to Egypt and Sudan where no typical specimens have been so far found; they have the same main character states as the lectotype of M. arabica; nevertheless they show few but stable differences from the lectotypes above quoted. The specimens from Jordan seem to be intermediate among them. Probably we are facing distinct populations, even sub species, from segregated areas by some unknown barriers, but it is still untimely to come to a decision about.</p> <p>GORBATOVSKY never published the designation of M. thoracica lectotype neither the synonymy M. arabica = M. thoracica. Misinterpretation about the identity of the females of M. diplochora (see the relative item) induced me to split M. arabica from M. thoracica and couple them with females and males which actually instead have to be referred to other taxa. Among the specimens collected in Syria exists the female identical to M. thoracica lectotype, seized together with the quoted males identical to M. arabica lectotype, a datum which underlines the aforesaid misinterpretation and strengthens the Gorbatovsky‘s intuition "in litteris" about the synonymy M. arabica = M. thoracica. The females previously ascribed to M. arabica (BONI BARTALUCCI 2004: 384-385) on the unique ground of identical labels with the males here quoted from SW Persia have to be removed because of the discovery of hitherto undescribed males (see M. elamita) at BMNH having the same labels with all of them. It appears more natural to perform new arrangements, deeming the combinations here proposed more reliable than previous ones. Nevertheless it would be very unwary to consider them conclusive and unalterable.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E2087DFFFB1FF8AFF64FCF29AC785E7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

GORBATOVSKY (1981) instead designated the unique female as lectotype, overmissing the other specimens, and put it under the name Meria martini VACHAL, actually junior synonym of Parameria femorata GUÉRIN 1837 (BONI BARTALUCCI 1994) and therefore unavailable name. Moreover he published his designation as " Meria laeta E. SAUNDERS 1901 " while the original name was " Myzine laeta ". The last name was preoccupied by Myzine laeta BINGHAM 1897, which actually belongs to the genus Mesa SAUSSURE 1892, whose it is junior homonym and therefore undisposable. Saunders recorded 8 males and 8 females, all of them from Biskra and referred about the ferruginous colour of the basal metameri of all the males but one. At BMNH actually the above recorded specimens exist only. GUIGLIA (1960, 1961) named specimens from Northern Africa with ferruginous colour Meria latifasciata laeta, then (1963) she discovered the identity of the SAUNDER‘ s taxon with the typical male of Meria martini and from then onward (1965, 1968) she named the specimens here we are dealing with like Meria latifasciata morpha M. martini Vachal". In a previous paper (BONI BARTALUCCI 2001) these specimens were included under the name M. latifasciata PALMA 1869.</p> <p>Two regular and stable differences (deemed of primary weigth in Meriini since the relative character states show no variability within the same species also in specimens coming from relatively remote areas) have been found between these red coloured specimens of M. laeta and the typical specimens of M. latifasciata present in Algeria and Morocco too: relative thickness (1/2 the elements in M. latifasciata, about 4/ 5 in M. laeta) of the longitudinal stripe of Secu on the flagellomeri and the shape of the pronotum both in dorsal and lateral aspect. Other two different character states, a bit less reliable inasmuch as more hardly settled than the formers, are the more globular 1 st tergum and the more dense and silvery hair on the head and mesosoma. Moreover no females of M. laeta have never been found so far in Sicily and Southern Italy (where in truth the female too of M. latifasciata is unknown). They are sympatric and synchronic in Northern Africa and no specimens with intermediate character states between them have been hitherto found. Waiting for data and discoveries which contradict the present action, we prefer to split specimens here recorded from the synonymy with M. latifasciata.</p> <p>The males belong to the group with completely smooth, pitless and hairless fore surface of mid femurs; they are also well featured from the other palaearctic taxa by the completely smooth Em 3 and anteroventral lateral P, with very fine and simple suture su 3. The females look like females of M. arabica and M. diplochora,but greatly differ in the more transversal head in frontal aspect (Ratio LA/ Am,in frontal aspect is 1.27 in front of</p> <p>1.13 to 1.17 for other species), more shortened and regularly rounded P in dorsal aspect and the pterostigma with very small fenestra (larger about the latters).</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n: The whole of Northern Africa from Morocco to Egypt.</p> <p>E c o l o g y: The unique data are by Saunders about the visited flowers: Ziziphus lotus and Ammi visnaga.</p> <p>D e r i v a t i o n o m i n i s: From the latin iucundus = pleasant.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E2087DFFFB0FF8CFF64FBE19A678786	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Punctuation like in M. tripunctata; only on Lst 2 and near it the p. is more dense than it happens in M. thoracica type too, where there are large smooth areas. Evident wrinkles on lateral propodeal disk.</p> <p>D i s c u s s i o n: In a previous paper (BONI BARTALUCCI 2001) the female and male specimens here quoted were ascribed to Meria thoracica GUÉRIN 1839 since the females were considered identic to the lectotype of the GUÉRIN‘ s taxon. Their more careful examination revealed that it was a wrong conclusion. First of all the description of the 1 st tergum was uncorrectly referred to the lectotype of M. thoracica, which has not any darker area on 1 st tergum, instead of to females here quoted. The shape of the head of the females here described is definitively different from M. thoracica ‘s lectotype; the ratio LA/A in frontal aspect is about 1,12 (while in M. thoracica is about 1.16, fig. 35). The basal Pam is isometric to all the others (about 1.2/1.5 times in M. thoracica, fig. 35). N 1 disk is different too, having less rounded sides and less straight apical border. Notauli and parapsidal lines on Sc 1 are diverging outwards (parallel to the main axis of the body in M. thoracica). The "fenestra" of pterostigma is very small and strongly angled with fore edge of the wing (in M. thoracica the fenestra is greater and subparallel to it, fig. 37). At last M. diplochora females lack the couple of white spots on 1 st tergum, present in M. thoracica.</p> <p>V a r i a b i l i t y One specimen from Mali and specimen from Oman lack yellow stains on N 1 disk, another one has additional light brown dorsal mesosoma (propodeal disk included). Specimens from Arabia lack yellow stains on N 1 disk and 5 th tergum.</p> <p>Male. There are very few doubts about the conspecifity of the specimens here quoted; their relative description under M. thoracica (BONI BARTALUCCI 2001: 14-16, figs 51-62) should be referred here.</p> <p>V a r i a b i l i t y The male specimens from Mali have more extended yellow parts than those from Arabian peninsula. One specimen show yellow spots on basal flagellomeri too, besides yellow anterior genae between FoO and eyes, a stripe on vertex along cOc, most of Es 2, posterior and lateral P, two spots on Sc 1, most of Sc 2 and postscutellar area.</p> <p>All the males show ferruginous colour on the four basal metameri.

The specimens from Chypre show a somehow more elongated flagellomeri and a protruding lamellar metapleural flange which looks like a sort of ledge upon the Em 3. The specimens from Azeirbagian show too a somehow slender flagellum (which is entirely bright reddish) and metasoma. I have not seen specimens certainly ascribed to it from Turanic region nor from Middle East so its distribution area appear to be the southern Balcanic peninsula, southern Russia, Anatolian peninsula with Kaucasus and Chypre. There are no definitive proof about the conspecifity of the females here quoted, but the Day‘s inference is very probably correct.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E2087DFFFB8FF85FF64FDE39BA587BB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Figs 69-73.</p> <p>D i s c u s s i o n: Similar in general habitus and shape of Tsa (forming a sort of ledge above clypeus) to P. parvula, these specimens, besides other smaller and more instable differences, greatly and firmly differ in three discriminating characters within Myzininae: shape of the head in frontal aspect, shape of the N 1 disk in dorsal aspect and shape of the epipygial lobes. Genitalia are very similar, only volsella have a more flattened cuspis and longer swordlike process. The anteroventral corner of N 1 is well rounded in all the specimens examined, whereas in P. parvula it is ventrally prominent. On the basis of the data actually disposable it has been considered far better to consider them as segregated taxa. The specimens here recorded look very like to the figure N.24, Planche 15, of the Savigny‘s "Description de l‘Egypte", upon which GUÉRIN (1837) named Myzine audouini, but as long as no specimen from Egypt can be examined any relative inference is inadvisable.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E2087DFFFBFFF85FF64FE0C98C1829A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
