Diagnostic characters.

Female. Head: dense setation on compound eyes (Figs 6 A , 7 B , 8 D ); granulate sculpture on the vertex (Figs 5 C , 6 B , 8 D ); occipital carina incomplete (Fig. 8 B ); hyperoccipital carina directly behind the lateral ocelli weakly indicated (almost absent in smaller specimens) (Figs 5 C , 6 B , 8 D ); outer orbital furrow narrow, (1–1.5 times as wide as an ommatidium) (Fig. 8 D ); clypeal sensillum present below the line connecting the medial and lateral clypeal setae (Fig. 8 F ).

Mesosoma: mesoscutal humeral sulcus (mshs) indicated by cells (Figs 6 B , 9 B ); metapleural carinain antero-dorsal area of metapleuron (pdms, between metapleural arm and propodeal spiracle) incomplete, irregular (Fig. 9 B ); surface of the furrow between metanotal trough and metascutellar arm (mns) smooth (Fig. 9 B ); macrosculpture of mesoscutum imbricate (Fig. 9 D ). Fore wing postmarginal (pm) and stigmal (st) veins length ratio: pm: st = 1.9: 1 (n = 20) (Fig. 7 A ). Hind femora yellow to pale brown (Figs 5 C , 6 D ).

Metasoma: first metasomal tergite with one or rarely two pairs of sublateral setae (ss) (Figs 6 C, D , 9 F ).

Male. Antennal length ratio A 3: A 2 = 2: 1 (n = 20), antennomeres A 6 – A 11 elongate, uniform in length (Fig. 7 C ). Genitalia: basal ring ( BS) ratio: Length: Width = 7: 4; minimum distance between inner margin of laminae volsellares ( LV): wide; external margin of penis valve ( PV) more intensely sclerotized and parallel rods (Fig. 7 D ). Other morphological characters as in female.

Biological information.

Host species associated: Table 2 . Three specimens ( DISAFA - FT HYM- 0667, HYM- 0666 - OQ 466110, and HYM- 0662 - OQ 466105) were found overwintering in November in the mines of P. viburni in Viburnum leaves.

DNA barcoding.

Barcode sequences were obtained from 46 specimens of Te. turesis . Pairwise distance values within species are shown in Suppl. material 3. The genetic distances between the insects identified as the same species were between 0.000 and 0.096 (mean 0.015 + / - 0.004).

The analysis of COI sequences discovered that Te. turesis includes samples KY 843528 ( Ashfaq et al. 2022); the specimens BIOUG 55155 - D 12, BIOUG 16220 - G 06, BIOUG 15112 - C 08, BIOUG 36831 - G 01, BIOUG 27850 - E 03, and KF 303516 ( Gariepy et al. 2014 a), previously identified as Te. chloropus , and the sample OK 562072 ( Ozdemir et al. 2022) (Suppl. material 1).
