Antenna ( Fig. 204) with mps on F5 (1), F7 (2), F8 (2), and clava (10). Fore wing ( Fig. 205) 2.9–3.0× as long as wide, with discal setae originating behind base of marginal vein. Ovipositor 1.2–1.3× length of mesotibia, not exserted beyond apex of gaster. Thus mostly identical to G. litoralisexcept fore wing disc with a distinct bare area between the marginal vein and the cubital row of setae ( Fig. 205).
MALE. Unknown.
Distribution.PALAEARCTIC: Iran(originally). Host. Neoaliturus( Circulifer) tenellus( Baker) (Cicadellidae).
Comments.This apparently new species is not described as such because only a few laboratory reared specimens are available for study. The original material from Iranwas not preserved because it was used for establishing the colony in quarantine and could not be recovered.
