Material examined: 1♀, IRAN, Sistan-o Baluchestan Province , Tamin (28°41′56″N, 61°10′15″E, 1933 m), Mal- aise trap, 01– 15.04.2016, leg.: N. Khajeh. GoogleMaps

Distribution in Iran: Sistan-o Baluchestan Province.

Remarks: Examination of the type materials indicating this species is very similar to Mesostenus grammicus Gravenhorst, 1829 . Both species are thought to be mixed in the past or it is also possible that M. kozlovi represents just specimens of G. grammicus with a very scattered punctation on the second metasomal tergite.

General distribution: Palaearctic ( China, Iran [new record]) ( Yu et al. 2016).

Diagnosis (Female). Body length 9.5 mm, fore wing length 8 mm, ovipositor 5.6 mm. Malar space 1.7 × as long as basal width of the mandible. Frons weakly convex and weakly striate ( Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 ). Head behind the eyes not long (0.3 × as long as eyes), curved and weakly narrowed laterally, in dorsal view ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ). Temple constricted behind the eye, 0.5 × as width as the eye in lateral view ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 ). Notaulus weak ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Mesoscutum polished, strongly punctate. Propodeum ( Fig. 4E View FIGURE 4 ) with basal and apical transverse carinae entire. Apical transverse carinae of propodeum present. First metasomal segment ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ) rather strongly widened to its apex, without a lateral triangular tooth basally. Postpetiole strongly convex in lateral view. Second tergite somewhat scattered punctate. Fore wing ( Fig. 4G View FIGURE 4 ) vein r-m present. Areolet small and irregular. Vein 1m-cu 2.0 × as long as 1/Cu. Hind wing ( Fig. 4H View FIGURE 4 ) with 1/Cu longer than cu-a. Ovipositor 1.7 × as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 4I View FIGURE 4 ). Body black; frontal and facial orbits, tegula and mesoscutum laterally apically yellowish, all femora, fore and mid tibiae completely, hind tibia mainly and metasoma reddish.
