Abstract
Urophora sevanensis sp. nov. is described from Armenia and a key is provided for separation of the new species from U. aprica (Fallén, 1820) and U. trinervii Korneyev et White, 1996. The new species was reared from capitula of Psephellus sp. in Armenia together with the already known Terellia ermolenkoi Korneyev, 1985. Along with U. trinervii Korneyev et White, 1996, this is the second species of the genus Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 known to attack capitula of the genus Psephellus Cassini. The new species is characterised by separated subbasal and discal crossbands, separated discal and preapical crossbands, anteriorly connected preapical and apical crossbands and the aculeus with distinct preapical primary and small secondary steps. The morphological details of T. ermolenkoi in colour photos are also presented.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
