Peribalus (Asioperibalus) hoberlandti (Lodos et Önder, 1980)

Holcostethus hoberlandti Lodos et Önder, 1980: 3–6 .

Diagnosis. The species clearly differs from all the other Palaearctic congeners in the convex sides of the pronotum ( Fig. 90 ).

Description. Body with sandy-brown lower and upper sides and with fine brownish black punctation. Pronotum without pale edging at sides, apex of scutellum pale. Abdominal segments yellowish, with dark punctation in anterior and posterior corners of tergites. Underside of body yellowish. Antenna reddish, occasionally darkened at apex, basal segments yellowish. Length of body 7.5–9.0 (8.25) mm, b. lw 1.67–1.76 (1.72).

Head trapeziform; jugae converging, longer than clypeus, covering its apex, with slightly emarginate sides, raised ( Fig. 90 ), 1.17 times as wide as long and 0.23 times as long as body. Eye medium-sized, ds 1.43. Antenna short, l. ba 2.12–2.32 (2.22).

Pronotum large [p. wl 2.02–2.07 (2.05)], with roundly convex sides, without costa along margin ( Fig. 90 ). Lateral angles widely rounded. Scutellum only slightly longer than wide (s. lw 1.04), gradually narrowed toward apex and then moderately widely rounded.

Male genitalia. Aedeagus with 2 pairs of conjunctive processes, sclerotized median plates wide, theca with lateral processes ( Fig. 37 ). Parameres in form of overturn “L,” sensory lobe absent, uneven area of inner surface of paramere narrowed toward base ( Fig. 58 ). Pygofer with obtusely rounded apical angles and rounded emargination apically ( Fig. 80 ).

Female genitalia. Spermathecal bulb rounded, small (l. bb 10), with 3 processes, longest of which projecting beyond proximal flange; sclerotized duct slightly widened at base ( Fig. 17 ). Sternite IX long, rather wide, with attenuate apices. Laterotergite IX narrow, rounded at apex, narrowed toward base ( Fig. 105 ).

Distribution. Turkey.

Material examined. Paratypes: 1 ♀ ( IZASU), 1 Ô, 1 ♀ (Exp. Nat. Mus. Praha), Kop , 2250 m, 9.VII.1978. Weed .
