Tomosvaryella subsylvatica Kazerani, Khaghaninia & Kehlmaier, 2017

Fig. 62

Diagnosis: Following Kazerani et al. (2017), this species can be recognized by the elongated surstyli in dorsal view, broadened in basal fourth, narrowed moderately apically; epandrium longer than wide; phallus with three ejaculatory ducts without projection ( Kazerani et al. 2017: fig. 3A–D). Based on the shape of phallus in lateral view and surstyli in dorsal view, this species resembles T. sylvatica . It differs by the shape of surstyli in lateral view, being pointed apically; the hind trochanter with three small spines; the r-m cross-vein reaching cell dm before its middle.

Distribution: Iran ( Kazerani et al. 2017; Skevington 2020) ( Fig. 62 ).
