T y p e m a t e r i a l s: Holotype ♂, Turkey: Samsun, 21.vii.1986, deposited in Insect Museum of Biological Control Station, Yüreğir , Adana, Turkey ( IMBC).

E t y m o l o g y: The name is derived from the name of Mr. Nuri Demirağ who builts the railway between Ankara and Samsun in 1930’s, built the first airplain factory in 1936, and for many more invaluable works in the Young Turkey.

D i a g n o s i s: ♂: Antenna with combined length of pedicel and flagellum almost as long as breadth of the head; club about 2.94 times as long as broad; flagellum 3.2x length of scape, the latter basally narrow, expanded in its upper half, the subapical shiny boss tending to be indistinct; pedicel 1.5x as long as width; F1 1.37x as long as pedicel;, F1 only slightly constricted basally, twice as long as broad; F2 1.37x, F3-F4 1.11x as long as width; Linear sensillae on F1-F2 1; F3 3; F4 2; F5 2; F6 2; C1 and C2 3; C3 2. Head in lateral view 1.82x as height as long; eye long oval 1.5x as long as width; POL 1.9x OOL; Forewing with stigmal vein forming 40° angle to the postmarginal vein; the latter 0.87x marginal vein and 1.33x stigmal veins; marginal vein 1.53x stigmal vein; basal cell bare, basal vein hairy; speculum narrowly open. Propodeum with median area about 0.47x length of scutellum; costula slightly indicated, median carina absent, plicae in basal half distinctly developed. Legs brown with metallic reflexion except tips of femora, tibiae and tarsi testaceous. Metasoma 2.6x as long as width; almost as long as mesosoma; basally without pale spot

D e s c r i p t i o n: The diagnostic characters of this species are given above and need not be repeated here. Some additional characters are the following:

♂: Body 2.57 mm long. Body black, with metallic bluish reflection; antenna with scape, pedicel and anelli yellow, funicular segments and club black; forewing hyaline.

Head in lateral view 40:22; in anterior view 51:40 1.27x as wide as height; in dorsal view 51: 22, almost as wide as mesoscutum (48); wide of frons 35; lower margin of clypeus entire in the middle; eye long oval (24:16) 1.5x as long as width; malar space (10) 0.42x eye length; Antenna ( Fig. 2m View Fig ) with scape 32, combined length of pedicel and flagellum (34); pedicel (11:7) about 1.6 times as long as width; flagellum 102, filiform; funicular segments distinctly broader than pedicel, almost in same width, F1 15:8, F2 11:8; F3-F4 10:9; F5 9:9; F6 9.5:9, slightly longer than broad; club 25, 3 segmented, acuminate, long 1.67x as long as F1; about 0.78x of 3 preceding funicular segments. Linear sensillae on F1-F2 1; F3 3; F4 2; F5 2; F6 2; C1 3; C2 3; C3 2.

Mesosoma 1.72x as long as width; slightly narrower thn width of head; scutellum almost as long as width (with axillullae) 23:24; Forewing with stigmal vein forming 40° angle to the postmarginal vein; stigmal vein thin, long with a broad knob; costal cell 8.8 times as long as broad; Forewing ( Fig. 3s View Fig ) with post marginal vein slightly shorter than marginal (20:23) and 1.33x stigmal veins; basal cell bare, basal vein hairy speculum narrowly open; marginal vein slightly enlarged, measurements of m:pm:st as 23: 20: 15.

Metasoma 2.1x as long as width, almost as long as mesosoma.

♀: unknown.

C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The new species similar to ♂ of Arthrolytus yazicioglui nov.sp. in having antennal formula 11263 and club at most 2.94 times as long as broad, but it differs from A. yazicioglui nov.sp. in having antenna with combined length of pedicellus and flagellum as long as the breadth of the head; flagellum 3.2x length of scape, F2 1.37x, F3-F4 1.11x as long as width; club about 2.94 times as long as broad; POL 1.9x OOL (in A. yazicioglui nov.sp. antenna with combined length of pedicellus and flagellum 1.26 times the breadth of the head; flagellum 4.25x length of scape; F2 1.63x; F3-F4 1.43x as long as width; club about 2.67 times as long as broad; femora testaceous, tibiae and tarsi yellow; POL 1.43x OOL), and some more characters given in the key.
