Mesoscutum dull, granulate and reticulate rugose ( Fig. 12C ); notauli reaching about 0.5 × length of mesoscutum ( Fig. 12C ); mesoscutellum shiny, unsculptured( Fig.12C ); metanotum shiny, unsculptured, except anterior half rugose ( Fig. 12C ); metapectal-propodeal complex reticulate rugose, without transverse or longitudinal keels ( Fig. 12D ). Genitalia with distivolsella situated near distal apex of aedeagus ( Fig. 3F ); paramere with inner side sculptured by many papillae ( Fig. 3F ). Tibial spurs 1/1/2.

Female

In Derafshan et al. (2016).

REMARKS

The male specimens were collected from the same locality as female specimens collected earlier in the same habitat (on Tamarix plants), and by the same methods (with a beating sheet). They were not reared. Thus, here we tentatively assign the male specimens to D. tamaricicola .
