Description

Aphelinoidea (Aphelinoidea) turanica S. Trjapitzin, 1995

Aphelinoidea (Aphelinoidea) turanica S. Trjapitzin, 1995: 303 (illustrations), 305–309. Type locality: Riverside, Riverside County, California, USA, from a colony on Neoaliturus tenellus eggs at University of California at Riverside quarantine laboratory, of Turkmenistan (Mary Welayat, Kara-Kum Desert, near Intercollective Farm Cattle Breeding Complex) origin. Holotype­ ♀ ­[ZIN],­examined­(Trjapitzin­1995).

Aphelinoidea turanica S. Trjapitzin: Anonymous 1997: 11 (establishment in California from Turkmenistan origin); Bayoun et al. 1998: 133–135 (introduction from Iran to California, USA); Bayoun et al. 2008: 415–423 (egg parasitoid of Neoaliturus tenellus [as Circulifer tenellus] in California); Rakitov & Triapitsyn 2013: 543–544 (key, synonymy).

Aphelinoidea (Aphelinoidea) turanica S. Trjapitzin: Walker et al. 2005: 3 (apparent establishment in California, USA), 10 (key), 11 (illustrations), 13–14 (illustrations), 16 (illustration), 18–20 (taxonomic history, distribution, host association, diagnosis, illustrations).

Aphelinoidea scythica Fursov 2007: 967 (in key), 968 (illustrations). Type locality: Sviatogorsk (as the­old­name­Slavianogorsk),­Donetsk­Region,­ Ukraine.­Holotype­ ♀ ­[SIZK],­only­digitalimages examined (Rakitov & Triapitsyn 2013). Synonymized under A. turanica by Rakitov and Triapitsyn (2013: 543–544).

Diagnosis: See Trjapitzin (1995) and Walker et al. (2005).

2000, C.H. Dietrich [UCRC].

Distribution: Iran and Turkmenistan, as well as Ukraine (Fursov 2007 [as A. scy-

thica]) and Kyrgyzstan (new record); introduced to California, USA, from Turk-

menistan and Iran and established (Trjapitzin 1995; Anonymous 1997; Walker et

al. 1997, 2005) but later present there only in small numbers (Bayoun et al. 2008).

Also, possibly, Libya (Huffaker et al. 1954; Trjapitzin 1995) [as A. anatolica] but

that­needs­to­be­verified­(Walker­ et al. 2005).

Host: Neoaliturus tenellus (Baker) (Trjapitzin 1995; Walker et al. 1997, 2005;

Bayoun et al. 2008 [as Circulifer tenellus (Baker)]).
