Diagnosis

The male of this species can be recognised by a large membranous area, as wide as long; unequal gonopods (Fig. 8 View Figure 8 B); phallic guide thin in basal half and broad in apical half, with the hook-like projection in the middle pointing upwards in ventral view (Fig. 8 View Figure 8 B); right surstylus with a strong projection in the middle of inner margin in dorsal view (Fig. 8 View Figure 8 A).

Distribution

France, Greece, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Uzbekistan ( Kehlmaier 2005a, Motamedinia et al. 2017, Kehlmaier et al. 2019, Skevington 2020) (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).

Notes

Eudorylas blascoi is part of the E. mutillatus species complex. Based on uncorrected pairwise genetic distances (p-distance), E. blascoi differs from E. mutillatus by 3.58%.
