Material examined: Southwestern Iran: Khuzestan, Lali, Taraz, (32°20’49.70”N, 49°05′11.31”E, 390m), 21.v.2016; Malaise trap in citrus orchard; leg. M. Zargar, 1 ♀ (ICAR̄NBAIR); Khuzestan, Lali, Taraz , (32°20’49.70”N, 49°05′11.31”E, 390m), 21.iii.2017, 22.v.2017; Malaise trap in citrus orchard; leg. M. Zargar, 2♀ ( TMUC) GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. Width of face 1.8× as long as height ( Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 ); ocelli large, POL: MOD: OOL − 7: 3: 5 ( Fig. 5B View FIGURE 5 ); penultimate flagellomere 1.4× as long as wide; mesoscutum densely evenly punctate and setose, scutellum smooth and setose ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ); propodeum with strong medial longitudinal carina with fine radiating lines on lateral sides at an angle from apex toward base; basal margin densely punctate, remaining propodeum not smooth, punctuate ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ); vein 1-R1 1.3× as long as pterostigma, 2.7× as long as r, 2.4× as long as distance from end of 1-R1 to tip of radial cell; pterostigma 4× as long as wide ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ); TI parallel sided at base, converging from middle to apex; TI 2× longer than basal width, basal width 2.0× as long as apical width; in middle smooth, punctate on lateral sides and rugose at apical near to TII. TII strongly constricted at base and triangular, its apical width 2.7× longer than median length ( Fig. 5E View FIGURE 5 ); ovipositor sheath 2.6× as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ); body black.

Distribution. Cyprus, Greece, Greece-main, Iran, Israel, Moldova, Spain, Spain-main, Turkey, Turkmenistan ( Yu et al., 2016). This is a new record for Khuzestan province of Iran.

Notes. In the original description ( Wilkinson 1937) the ovipositor is about as long as combined length of trochanter, trochanellus, femur, tibia, and tarsus of hind leg, but in the key by Papp (1982) the ovipositor sheath is 2× as long as hind tibia. However, in the specimens examined in the present study ovipositor sheath is 2.5-2.8× as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ).
