Arthrolytus kahvecii nov.sp. ( Figs 1k View Fig , 3m View Fig )
T y p e m a t e r i a l s: Holotype ♀, Turkey: Tokat, Fidanlık 14.vi.1989, deposited in Insect Museum of Biological Control Station, Yüreğir , Adana, Turkey ( IMBC).
E t y m o l o g y: The name is derived from the name of Mr. Adnan Kahveci who was the minister of Turkey for his invaluable works in the Blacksee Region of Turkey.
D i a g n o s i s: ♀: Head hardly protuberant at level of toruli; Head in dorsal about 2.67 times as broad as length. Antennae inserted well above level of ventral edge of eyes, their toruli about equidistant from the anterior margin of the clypeus and the median ocellus; Malar space hardly one third length of an eye. Antenna with combined length of pedicel and flagellum almost as long as the breadth of the head; flagellum 2.24x length of scape; pedicel 0.71x as long as anelli plus first funicle; club 1.57x as long F1. Propodeum medially 0.33x as long as scutellum; its median area about 2.5x as broad as long, the panels distinctly reticulate. Wings slightly yellowish, with a faint infumate discal cloud. Metasoma testaceous with bluish reflection.
D e s c r i p t i o n: The diagnostic characters of this species are given above and need not be repeated here. Some additional characters are the following:
♀: Body 2.63 mm. Head and mesosoma black with metallic blue reflection.
Malar space hardly one third length of an eye (0.31x). Antennae inserted well above level of ventral edge of eyes, their toruli about equidistant from the anterior margin of the clypeus and the median ocellus; head hardly protuberant at level of toruli.
Antenna ( Fig. 1k View Fig ) with scapus 58, almost parallel sides, slightly narrower basally; pedicel (18) 1.8x as long as wide and 0.82x as long as F1; flagellum (130), 2.24x length of scape, almost filiform; funicular segments F2-F6 slightly decreasing in length, F1 22, F2 17; F3 16, F4 15; F5 14, F6 12, as long as wide; club 30, acuminate, short 1.36x as long F1; sensillae 3-4, disposed in a row, on apical half of each segment.
Mesosoma squat, about 1.1 times as long as broad, 0.71x as long as metasoma. Forewing ( Fig. 3m View Fig ) with angle between stigmal and post marginal veins 550; submarginal vein 1.33x as long as marginal vein; marginal vein as long as post marginal vein, post marginal vein 1.43x marginal vein.
Metasoma 1.81 times as long as broad 1.17x as long as head plus mesosoma 1.5x as long as mesosoma 1.21x wider than mesosoma. ♂: unknown.
C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Arthrolytus kahvecii nov.sp. similar to A. slovacus GRAHAM 1969 and A. gurderei nov.sp. Discussion was given above.
