( Figs 1–7 View Figs 1–7 )
Material examined. Russia, Republic North Ossetia–Alania, Alagir Distr., environs of Verkhniy Tsey Vill ., along mountain stream, 1 female and 2 males reared 21.VIII.2020 from capitula of Cirsium sp. collected on 14.VIII.2020, coll. D.A. Evstigneev.
Distribution. Russia (Caucasus) and Armenia (S. Korneyev & Evstigneev, 2019).
Comments. This species was recently described from the North and western Caucasus (Karachay-Cherkessia and Adygea, respectively) and from Armenia. Here we provide the first data on T. anthrax from North Ossetia. The diagnostic characters of T. anthrax are illustrated in Figs 1–7 View Figs 1–7 . The species is similar in several characters to the European species T. conura (Loew, 1844) . The morphological details of the latter species (male and female from the Middle Volga region, Ulyanovsk Province, European Russia) are illustrated in Figs 8–14 View Figs 8–14 . These two species readily differ from each other in the wing pattern: in T. anthrax , the hyaline spot in the distal part of the cell r 4+5 near the apical margin of the wing is noticeably smaller ( Fig. 2 View Figs 1–7 , a) than in T. conura ( Figs 8, a, 9 View Figs 8–14 , a). The aculeus apex in both species is pointed ( Figs 7 View Figs 1–7 , 12 View Figs 8–14 ), without an apical incisura.
