Eudorylas chvalai
Kozanek
, 1988
Diagnosis
This species can be recognised by asymmetrical surstyli, left surstylus slightly triangular-shaped, right surstylus quadratic-shaped at the base with long inner finger-like projection and a short outer one in dorsal view; gonopods unequal, right larger than left one in ventral view; phallic guide straight, but at dorsal margin, concave in apical two thirds in lateral view (for illustration, see
Kehlmaier 2005a
: Figure 69a, k).
Distribution
Greece, Iran (Fig.
1
), Turkmenia (
Kehlmaier 2005a
,
Motamedinia et al. 2017
,

).
Notes
Eudorylas chvalai
is not very similar genetically to any other
Eudorylas
species. Using the BOLD DNA identification engine (
The Barcode of Life Data System 2020
), the most similar recorded DNA barcode, a specimen from Pakistan on BOLD, is only 91.5% similar.
Eudorylas blascoi
is 89.97-90.13% similar.
