Key to species of Anomalon occurring in Iran

1. Marginal cell about 1.0 × as long as its distance from the end of the wing ( Fig. 3A ); temple not constricted behind eyes, about 0.9 × as wide as the compound eye in lateral view ( Fig. 2C ) ........... .................................................................................................................... A. amseli ( Hedwig, 1961)

– Marginal cell about 2.0 × as long as its distance from the end of the wing ( Figs 5A , 7A , 9A ); temple constricted behind eyes, about 0.45–0.65 × as wide as the compound eye in lateral view ( Figs 4C , 6C , 8C ) .............................................................................................................................................. 2

2. Clypeus without a pair of lateromedian apical teeth ( Fig. 6B ); pronotum completely striate and without an impunctate area behind the epomia; epicnemial carina broken at the level of the sternaulus (with a branch to the lower posterior corner of the pronotum) ( Fig. 6D ) ........................................... .......................................................................................................... A. cruentatum (Geoffroy, 1785)

– Clypeus with a pair of lateromedian apical teeth ( Figs 4B , 8B ); pronotum posteriorly not striate and with an impunctate area behind the epomia; epicnemial carina not broken at the level of the sternaulus (without a branch to the lower posterior corner of the pronotum) ( Figs 4D , 8D ) ........... 3

3. Ocelli small, the diameter of a lateral ocellus shorter than the distance between the lateral ocellus and the margin of the eye ( Fig. 4A ); ovipositor sheath about 1.1 × as long as the hind tibia ( Fig. 5B ) ... ............................................................................................................... A. chinense ( Kokujev, 1915)

– Ocelli larger, the diameter of a lateral ocellus as long as the distance between the lateral ocellus and the margin of the eye ( Fig. 8A ); ovipositor sheath about 0.8 × as long as the hind tibia ( Fig. 9B ) ... ......................................................................................... A. narinae Zardouei & Rakhshani sp. nov.
