Key to species of Puklina reared from asphodels

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 )............................................................................................ Puklina depilata Graham

Males

1 Antennal scape swollen, about 2.3× as long as broad with ventral plaque occupying about 0.75× its length; dorsal setae on F1 reaching distinctly beyond apex of F3................................................ Puklina gelincika Doğanlar

– Scape more than 3.5× as long as broad with ventral plaque occupying only about one-quarter of its length; dorsal setae on F1 not reaching apex of F3.............................................................. Puklina depilata Graham
