Females

1. Mid lobe of mesoscutum with an evident median line (Fig. 33E). Fore wing with apical margin ciliate. Gaster about 3× as long as broad; postcercale plus ovipositor sheaths 0.6× length of metatibia (Fig. 33F). Turkey. Reared from fruits of Asphodelus sp............................................................................... Puklina gelincika Doğanlar

– Mid lobe of mesoscutum without distinct median line [but sometimes with a median longitudinal groove resulting from drying and partial collapse] (Fig. 33C). Fore wing apex appearing bare, the marginal cilia not projecting beyond wing margin (Fig. 33A). Gaster less elongated, postcercale plus ovipositor sheath at most about 0.5× length of metatibia (Fig. 33A)............................................................................................
