Comments
. Here
T. valida
is listed for the first time from North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria.
Inula helenium
L. was recorded as the host plant of
T. valida
(S.
Korneyev, 2016c
; S. Korneyev & V.
Korneyev, 2019
). The senior author reared
T. valida
in
Armenia
and North Ossetia from the same plant species. The diagnostic characters of this species are illustrated in
Figs 32–39
. The wing pattern is typical of this species (
Figs 32–33
), in particular, consisting of isolated dark spots at the apical parts of
R 4+5
and
M
; the apex of the aculeus is obtuse, with a faint apical impression (
Fig. 37
). The glans of the phallus of
T. valida
(
Fig. 34
) is illustrated for the first time; it is large, with a long membranous part (vesica).
