Systole (Systole) complanata Zerova, 1972 ( fig. 3 , 1 –6)

Zerova, 1972: 924; 1995: 285; Zerova, Seryogina, 1994: 139, 214.

Material. 3 ♀, 1 Ơ, Iran, Lorestan, Zaghe region , June 2011 (Fateme Pirouzi leg.) .

Type material examined. Holotype: ♀, “ Tajikistan, Horog, ex seeds Heracleum lehnannianum Bng. , coll. 22.VII.1964 (Sugonyaev leg.) ( ZIN); ♀, paratype, same labels, emerg. V.1967 ”. ( SIZK) .

Female. Body length about 2.0 mm. Body black, legs black, only fore femora brownish, tarsi brown; tip of ovipositor black, antenna dark-brown, wings hyaline, venation of fore wing light brown. Head (dorsally) slightly wider than pronotum; in frontal view wider than height (ratio 7: 5); malar space equals in length to height of eye; ventral margin of clypeus straight with deep tentorial pits on upper sides; surface of clypeus flat; face and vertex with fine reticulation. Antennae inserted at middle part of face, with short and stout scape not reaching the mid ocellus; 1st flagellar segment slightly longer than its width (in distal part); 2nd–5th flagellar segments quadrate; club stout, as long as three previous flagellar segments; funicle is widening to distal part, with pale sparse pubescence.

Mesosoma with flat dorsum; pronotal collar very short, almost 5.0 times as wide as long, and 2.0 times shorter than scutum, and almost as long as scutellum. Propodeum slightly sloping, wide and bulging on sides, with very thin, shallow sculpture. Forewing with short, but well-visible brown pubescence. Marginal vein as long as postmarginal vein; radial vein shorter than postmarginal, and with slightly elongated stigma.

Metasoma with short, but well-visible petiolus; abdomen shorter than head and mesosoma (in lateral view), without pubescence.

M a l e not known.

Biology. The larvae in seeds of Heracleum lehmannianum Bunge in Tajikistan ( Zerova, 1972). The host plant in Iran is unknown.

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Iran.

Diagnosis. Species S. complanata is differentiated from other Systole species by flat dorsum, shorter pronotal collar and slightly elongated stigma. Specimens from Iran were compared with type material of S. complanata .
