G e n e r a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: Bulgaria , Czechoslovakia , Greece , Hungary , Italy , Moldova , Romania , Russia , Russia-Altayskiy Kray, Russia-Dagestanskaya Respublika, Turkey ( YU et al. 2012 ) and Iran ( Fars and west Azarbaijan provinces) (GHAHARI & JUSSILA 2011c). D i a g n o s t i c c h a r a c t e r s: Temelucha lucida can be distinguished from other species of this genus by a combination of the following characters: Body mostly black with abundant red pattern; lower margin of clypeus convex; head distinctly narrow posteriorly; clypeus moderately convex; scutellum partly yellow; propodeum short, convex laterally; mesoscutum densely and coarsely punctured; notauli absent; metasoma black with 1st -2nd tergite medially red; other tergites laterally yellow-red; ocelli small; ovipositor tip not curved; ovipositor as long as fore wing ( KASPARYAN 1981 ). H o s t s: Isauria dilucidella DUPONCHEL 1836 (Lep.: Pyralidae ), Rhyacionia buoliana (DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER 1775) (Lep.: Tortricidae ) ( YU et al. 2012 ) and T . viridana (new host record). R e m a r k s: Temelucha lucida was a primary, solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid of T . viridana . Larva of T . lucida developed into larva of T . viridana and then adult emerged from larva or pupa of its host.
