Annotated Catalog of Eurytomidae (Hymenoptera: Chacidoidea) from Iran

The species Exeurytoma anatolica Сam (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Eurytomidae), formerly known only from Turkey, was reared from seeds of Astragalus angustiflorus (C.Koch) (Fabaceae) in Iran for the first time. It is a firstly record of A. angustiflorus as a new host plant for Ex. anatolica. The species Ex. anatolica and Ex. сaraganae are phytophagous and develop in seeds of legume plants (Fabaceae). Redescription of Ex. anatolica is provided. Identification key to species of Exeurytoma is given. The species Ex. anatolica is differentiated by the ovipositor’s length which is about 1/3 as long as gaster and the length of first funicular segment which is in 1,2 times longer than pedicel. Material is deposited in the collection of I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv).

“…Introduction. The genus Bruchophagus (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) comprises 34 species of phytophagous, seed-feeding chalcid wasps in the Palaearctics; 19 species were recorded previously on the territory of Iran (Zerova and Seryogina, 1994;Zerova, 1995;Saghaei et al, 2018;Noyes, 2019). The genus was subdivided on 2 subgenera, Bruchophagus s. str.…”

The new species, Bruchophagus ayadi sp.n., is reared from seed pods of Melilotus officinalis (L.) Desr. (Fabaceae) in Iran (Lorestan). The new species is close to B. platypterus (Walk.), but differs by roundish abdomen and very gibbous, almost globular (in lateral view) mesosoma. These species can be also differentiated by some biological features. The host plant of B. platypterus is Lotus corniculatus L., whereas the new species is reared from Melilotus officinalis (L.) Desr. Holotype of Bruchophagus ayadi sp.n. is deposited in the collection of I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv).

Seed-eater eurytomids of the genus Bruchophagus Ashmead, 1988 were collected from Ardabil and Qazvin provinces in northwest Iran. Various host plants were collected and their seeds were kept in laboratory conditions from 2007 to 2012. Scope of this paper focused on the Bruchophagus species reared from seeds of Astragalus brachydontus Boiss (Fabaceae). We obtained six species of Bruchophagus including B. astragali Fedoseeva. They were B. saxatilis Zerova; B. mutabilis Nikolaskaya; B. nikolskayae (Zerova); B. turkestanicus Zerova, and B. robiniae Zerova. Of which, Bruchophagus saxatilis Zerova, is a new record for the Iranian fauna. New host associations were found for all collected species and it seems a complex biological association that was recorded for the first time. Currently, 11 species of Bruchophagus are occurred inassociated with seeds of A. brachydontus. All previously known species of the genus Bruchophagus in Iran are also tabulated.
