New data on the genus Chrysotoxum Meigen (Diptera: Syrphidae) from North-East Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran including descriptions of three new species
Description
New data and records of the genus Chrysotoxum Meigen, 1803 are reported, arising
from taxonomic and faunistic examination of adult specimens collected from 1920 to
2011 from four northeastern provinces of Turkey (Erzurum, Bayburt, Kars, and
Artvin), and from the neighboring countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. Three
new species are described: Chrysotoxum antennalis Vujić, Nedeljković & Hayat sp. n.,
C. clausseni Vujić, Nedeljković & Hayat sp. n. and C. persicum Vujić, Nedeljković &
Hayat sp. n. The first two are known only from northeastern Turkey, and the third also
occurs in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. These new species have in common an antenna
with the basoflagellomere being shorter than the scape and pedicel together.
