Neoheegeria persica Priesner View in CoL

Neoheegeria persica Priesner, 1954: 54–55 View in CoL .

This species was described from a single female taken in Shiraz (Fars Province), Iran, from Prangos ferulacea (Apiaceae) View in CoL . It is similar in structure to N. dalmatica View in CoL but can be distinguished by the yellow colour of antennal segments III–VI and the unusually elongate fustis in the ninth abdominal segment. Moreover, the antennal segments are slightly more elongate, but the number of forewing duplicated cilia given by Priesner (1954) to distinguish this species is not useful due to variation.
