Description

Enicospilus pseudoculator Gadallah & Soliman 2017

Enicospilus pseudoculator Gadallah & Soliman 2017:39,44; Figs 4G, 8C, 12C, 16C, 20C, 26C, 31C holotype ♀ from Saudi Arabia. Type material studied through illustrations in Gadallah et al. (2017).

Material examined: IRAN: 2♂♂, Hormozgan Province, Sirik 70 km North of Minab, 19 Apr. 1992, 170 m. a. s., Mirz. / Badii leg. (HMIM); 1 unsexed specimen, Hormozgan Province, Jazireh-e Larak, 6 Mar. 1999, Gh. / Manz. leg. (HMIM); 1♀, Kerman Province, 25 km E. of Jiroft (Mijan), 28˚42"N, 57˚57"E, 27 May 2014, Mi. Halada leg. (OÖLM).

Remarks: Recently described based on material collected in Saudi Arabia (Gadallah et al. 2017). Very closely related to Enicospilus affinis Hedwig, 1957 stat. rev. with minor differences in coloration. The two species may be conspecific (see remarks under E. affinis). Enicospilus pseudoculator has also previously been recorded from Iran under the erroneous name Enicospilus monostigma (Vollenhoven, 1879) in Ameri et al. (2016, Figs 5A–F).
