Erythraeus (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov.
( Figs. 1–13 View FIGURES 1 – 5 View FIGURES 6 – 10 View FIGURES 11 – 13 )
Type material. Holotype and 14 paratype larvae from Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) ( Neuroptera : Chrysopidae ), Shahanjarin, Razan (35º 13΄ 22ʺ N, 49º 10΄ 16ʺ E and altitude 1825 m a.s.l), Hamedan Province, 8 June, 2009, Aboulghasem Rezai-Nahad.
Description. For measurements see table 2.
Dorsum ( Figs. 1–2 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ). Prodorsal scutum with two pairs of barbed setae (AL and PL) and two pairs of barbed sensilla (AM and S). Anterior sensilla (AM) very short, situated in obliquely positioned sockets or trichobothria. Posterior sensilla (S) long and barbed. Anterolateral setae (AL) not expanded basally and acute points and posterolaterals (PL) less than half the length of AL. Scutum almost hexagonal with anterior margins straight and posterior concave ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ). Opisthosoma with 31 long, barbed setae and two pairs of unequally in diameter eyes anterolaterally ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ).
Ve n t e r ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ). With a pair of setae between coxae I (1a) and III (3a). Opisthogaster with seven pairs of barbed setae. Ventral setae are narrower than dorsal setae.
Gnathosoma ( Figs. 4–6 View FIGURES 1 – 5 View FIGURES 6 – 10 ). Infracapitulum with one pair of hypostomal (Hy) 54 (52) and adoral setae (or) 38 (41) ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 6 – 10 ). Palp five-segmented; femur and genu each with one barbed seta; tibia with three barbed setae, with tibial claw bifurcate ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ); tarsus with seven setae, one of which is longer than others (including eupathidium), one eupathidium and one solenidion ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ).
Legs ( Figs. 7–13 View FIGURES 6 – 10 View FIGURES 11 – 13 ). Leg setae barbed. Legs six segmented (coxae excluded) with divided femora. Tarsi terminate into two lateral claws and a claw-like empodium. Chaetotaxy of segments as follows: coxae 1-1-1; trochanters 1-1-1; basifemora 3-3-3; telofemora 5-5-5; genua 8+1σ+1 k - 8+1k - 8; tibiae 14+2ϕ +1Cp+1κ - 15+2ϕ - 14+1ϕ; tarsi 25+2ζ+1ω - 22+2ζ+1ω - 23+1ζ.
Remarks. Erythraeus (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. belongs to the species group of the subgenus Zaracarus with basifemoral setal formula 3-3-3. It is closely related to E. (Z.) aydinicus , E. (Z.) sibulginicus , E. (Z.) lancifer , E. (Z.) kastaniensis , E. (Z.) passidonicus , E. (Z.) longipedus , E. (Z.) fabiolae , E. (Z.) rajabii , E. (Z.) lancifer , E. (Z.) passidonicus and E. (Z.) kastaniensis . However, it differs from all these species by differences in measurements and numbers of setae. (Tables 4–5).
Etymology. The species is named in honour of Prof. Mohammad Javad Soleimani Pari, Department of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran, for helping the senior author.
