Aphilenia interrupta Weise in Reitter, 1889

Material examined. “ Turkey, TR15-31 Iğdir Prov., / 10 km E of Aralik, Gödekli Vill. , / 39º48‘20“ N 44º34‘50“ E, roadside / on Calligonum polygonoides / 19.V.2015, B.A. Korotyaev leg.”, 1 ♀ ( ZIN) GoogleMaps

Distribution. Kazakhstan, Central Asia ( Moseyko & Sprecher-Uebersax, 2010), Turkey (new record).

This species has not yet been found in Iran and closest record to Turkey was from Turkmenia. All species of the genus feed on Calligonum ( Moseyko, 2012) . Probably, species of Aphilenia occurs on most part of area of Asian Calligonum spp. The coloration of the specimen is darker than in Central Asian specimens of A. interrupta and resembles A. astakhovi Moseyko, 2012 from South-Western Russia. However, the structure of the spermatheca is identical to that of A. interrupta .
