Description

Dalus leopardinus (Haupt, 1917)

(Figs 3a–b, 16a–f & 28)

Symphypyga leopardina Haupt, 1917: 242, fig. 5.

Dalus leopardinus: Emeljanov, 1975: 108.

Paramacroceps kiritshenkoi Bergevin, 1926: 32, figs 1–6: syn. fide Emeljanov, 1975: 108.

Material examined: Kerman Province: 3♂, 2♀, 35 km E Rafsanjan, Kaboutarkhan, 1679 m, N30º18.098′ E56º19.167 ′, 23.vi.2019, V.M. Gnezdilov & F. Mozaffarian leg. (ZIN and HMIM).

Notes: New record of the genus and species for Iranian fauna. The species was described based on three females from Kerki and later recorded from Repetek in Turkmenistan (Haupt, 1917; Kusnezov, 1929). Fifty years later it was recorded from Uzbekistan (Dubovsky, 1966) and Kazakhstan (Mitjaev, 1971). In Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan Calligonum spp. were mentioned as its host plants (Kaplin, 1993; Mitjaev, 2002). Apparently it is one of the largest species of Adelungiini with its total length 6–9 mm.
