Material: Guilan province: Ghazichak (36°45′52.62″ N, 50°20′01.08″ E, 1787m a.s.l.) GoogleMaps , 14.vi.2010, 2♀ ( TMUC) , 2♀ ( CNC) ; 22.vi.2010, 2♀ ( TMUC) ; 28.vi.2010, 7♀ ( TMUC) ; Qazvin province: Zereshk Road (36°25′23.88″ N, 50°06′37.68″ E, 1926m a.s.l.) GoogleMaps , 06.vii.2011, 1♀ ( TMUC) .
Diagnosis: Pterostigma with conspicuous yellow spot basally ( Fig. 7f View FIGURE 7 ); T1 and T2 parallel- or sub parallelsided and black; T3/T2 length: 1.50–1.60 ( Fig. 7g View FIGURE 7 ); anterodorsal corner of mesopleuron black; metacoxa black, sometimes apically yellow; metafemur with combination of black and yellow marks ( Fig. 7d View FIGURE 7 ). Body length without ovipositor: 3.40 mm.
Notes: Some specimens of our collection differ by having smaller size (body length: 2.60 mm) and propodeum with larger smooth area between median and lateral rugosity; vein 3SR in fore wing not distinct. In other specimens, all characters with the exception of colouration is similar to tiro (i.e., T1 and T2 brown; anterodorsal corner of mesopleuron reddish brown to brown; metacoxa reddish yellow to yellow; metafemur yellow or reddishyellow, sometimes apically with dark spot). We consider these differences as intrapopulation variations of C. tiro .
Distribution in Iran: Qazvin province ( Ghahari et al. 2011a); Kermanshah province ( Ghafouri Moghaddam et al. 2018); Guilan Province (current study).
General distribution: Nearctic, Palaearctic ( Yu et al. 2016).
