Description

Pollenia viatica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830

Most recent taxonomic treatment. Rognes (1991a, as pallida Rohdendorf; 1991b).

Material. Aragatsotn: Below Spitak Pass, N 40°45 E44°16, 2300–2380 m, 31.vii.2015, 1 ♂ [2600, dissected], 4 ♀ [2601, 2602, 2603, 2604]. Tavush: Haghartsin monastery environs, N40°48 E44° 53, 1440–1700 m, 10.viii.2017, 1 ♂ [2629, dissected].

Previous Armenian records. Rognes (1991a: 230) reported P. viatica (as pallida) from Armenia. Rognes (1991b: 494) corrected this, pointing out that the record was based on a misidentified female of P. mediterranea Grunin from “ 8 km ‘S Bigenak perevala’ [Bichenakskiy Pass]” in Nakhchivan, thus in Azerbaijan (see Rognes 1991b: 476).

Distribution. Widely distributed in the Western Palaearctic Region, east to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, south to Syria (Golan Heights), Israel and West Bank.
