Pterotricha pseudoparasyriaca Nuruyeva & Huseynov, 2016 View in CoL Figs 4, 5, 16
Pterotricha pseudoparasyriaca Nuruyeva & Huseynov, 2016: 214, f. 1-5, 11-15 (♂♀); Zamani et al. 2017: 63, f. 3B (♂).
Material examined.
IRAN: 1♀ (ZMFUM), Ardebil Province: Aghkand-Khalkhak Rd., Karoo Vil., 37°24'3.6"N 48°07'4.8"E, 30 May 2017 (A. Abedini ); 1♂ 1♀ (ZUCT), Kordestan Province: Sanandaj, Noshur, May 2017 (A. Zamani); 2♀ (ZUCT), Kordestan Province: Marivan, Bardeh Bakakar, May 2017 (A. Zamani).
Diagnosis.
Among Iranian Pterotricha , this species is most similar to P. strandi , which has a stylus of the embolus, a broad conductor, and a long septum. Males of the two species differ by the shape of the tibial apophysis (tapering in P. pseudoparasyriaca vs. rectangular in P. strandi ), a blunt tip of conductor in P. pseudoparasyriaca vs. a sharply pointed tip in P. strandi , as well as by the shape of the tegular apophysis (with an elongate base in P. pseudoparasyriaca vs. unmodified in P. strandi ) (Figs 4d, 5 a–c). Females of P. pseudoparasyriaca are easily distinguished from those of P. strandi by having a looped copulatory duct and a distinct, square epigynal fovea vs. copulatory duct short, unlooped and indistinct fovea (Figure 4e, f).
