Ormyrus bucharicus Zerova 1985

Description

3. Ormyrus bucharicus Zerova, 1985

Material examined: Unlabelled in HMIM, 2Ψ. Qazvin, Alamut, summer.2009, pan trap, (B. Gharali), 1Ψ.

During a study of material in HMIM, one of us (HL) found two specimens of Ormyrus that agree with the description of O. bucharicus. Females of this species are distinguished by an upturned epipygium, strongly extended ovipositor, violet body colour, and bare speculum.

Ormyrus bucharicus was hitherto known only from Uzbekistan as a parasitoid of Urophora repeteki (Munro) (Tephritidae) on Cousinia hamadae (Asteraceae) (Zerova 1985).
