Raphidilla syriaca Steinmann, 1964 (odescr): H. Aspöck et al. 1991 (mon).
Ulrike syriaca (Steinmann, 1964): H. Aspöck et al. 1989 (biogeogr, distr); H. Aspöck et al. 1991 (mon); H. Aspöck and Hölzel 1996 (distr); H. Aspöck et al. 2001 (anncat); Haring et al. 2011 (phyl, phyltree); H. Aspöck and U. Aspöck 2013 (cat, etymol), 2014 (cat).
Taxonomy.
H. Aspöck et al. (1991). U. syriaca (Fig. 5a View Figure 5 ) is closely related to the second species of the genus, U. attica (H. Aspöck & U. Aspöck), which is so far known from the mainland of Greece only. The species can easily be identified also by eidonomic characters.
Biology and ecology.
Larvae probably soil-dwelling. Development two years. Last hibernating stage: full-grown larva. Adults: IV-V in light forests, particularly on pines at altitudes from 100-1500 m.
Records on Mediterranean islands
(Fig. 10a View Figure 10 ). Records only from Cyprus. Syntopic Raphidioptera (in Cyprus): Phaeostigma (Crassoraphidia) cyprica .
Continental distribution.
Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel.
Biogeography.
(Possibly polycentric) Syrian (-Cyprian) faunal element with low expansivity. Most probably the refugial center was primarily somewhere in the Near East, from where the species invaded (passively) Cyprus (see also Phaeostigma (Crassoraphidia) cyprica ).
