Diglyphus anadolucus Doğanlar, 1982

Diglyphus anadolucus Doğanlar, 1982:75–78 . ♂ ♀, Holotype ♀, AUET, Türkiye. Not examined.

( Figs 2A–E)

Material examined. 6 ♀♀; 14–15, June 2020; ex. Pegomya terebrans (Rondani) ( Diptera , Anthomyiidae ) on Onopordum acanthium DC. ( Asteraceae ); Urmia, Urmia University campus, 37°39'14''N, 44°58'35''E, 1360 m a.s.l., leg. Y. Karimpour.

Diagnosis — Female. Body metallic green with golden reflections on mesoscutellum ( Figs 2A, 2C, 2D) Pedicel and flagellum blackish. Scape white with anterior 0.36 in dark brown color ( Fig. 2B). Femora and tibiae white, except for the hind femur which is dark brown at 1/3 its base ( Fig. 2A). Antenna with first funicular 2.13× and second funicular 1.50× as long as wide; pedicel 0.63× as long as length of first flagellomere; and first funicular 1.17× as long as second funicular ( Fig. 2B). Costal cell with a complete row of setae on ventral surface and with 11 setae on the dorsal surface along the terminal part of its anterior margin ( Fig. 2E)

In the key provided by Hansson and Navone (2017), based on specimens obtained from Italy and Russia the first funicular of female antennae is 1.6× and second one is 1.3× as long as wide. While in the specimens of current study, they are 2.13× and 1.50× as long as wide, respectively ( Fig 2B). This corresponds to the characteristics of the corresponding holotype ( Doğanlar, 1982). Therefore, it is suggested that in the identification key published by Hansson and Navone (2017), the scales mentioned for first and second funiculars of female antennae be modified as follows: the first funicular 1.6–2.2× and second funicular 1.3–1.6× as long as wide.

Distribution in Iran. West Azarbaijan province, Urmia (present study).

General distribution. Iran (New record), Italy, Russia ( Hansson & Navone, 2017), and Türkiye ( Doğanlar, 1982).
