A new species of the genus Chrysotoxum Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Syrphidae) from Turkey
Description
A new species of the genus Chrysotoxum (Diptera: Syrphidae), Chrysotoxum bozdagensis
Nedeljković, Vujić & Hayat sp. n., collected from Bozdağ Mt., İzmir Province,
Turkey is described and illustrated. Chrysotoxum bozdagensis sp. n. can be distinguished
from the similar Ch. octomaculatum Curtis, 1837 by the presence of a black
pile on the mesonotum and the colour of the legs. It is also similar to Ch. elegans
Loew, 1841, from which it can be distinguished by the colour of the pile on the vertical
triangle and scutellum, as well from the structure of the male genitalia. Additionally,
Ch. bozdagensis sp. n. can be clearly distinguished from the latter two species by DNA
sequence data. This new species increases the total number of Chrysotoxum species in
Turkey to 18.
