Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Author Hayat, Mohammad Author Ahmad, Zubair Author Khan, Farmanur Rehman text Zootaxa 2014 3793 1 1 59 journal article 36865 10.11646/zootaxa.3793.1.1 b326943e-eae9-4877-9afd-eeacbc85c43f 1175-5326 285931 4539037A-4B05-4E37-8B65-2DF0FE753BAE Anagyrus sp. near pseudococci (Girault) Material examined. KSA : AL-BAHA: Qunfudah, vi.2012 , (MT), Coll. Z. Ahmad (1 ♀) ( ZDAMU ). Comments. Refer to Noyes & Hayat (1994) for identification of A. pseudococci ; and Triapitsyn et al. (2007) for notes on this species based on biological and molecular comparisons of different geographical populations. The single female from Saudi Arabia has, as usual for A. pseudococci , F1 basally dark brown and apically white, but otherwise differs from the redescription of A. pseudococci given by Noyes & Hayat (1994) in the following characters: frontovertex anteriorly, inter-torular area and mouth margin pale brown; scutellum largely yellow, with only a faint, almost indistinguishable, brownish streak in middle; and frontovertex width 0.37× head width. It is very likely the Saudi Arabian specimen belongs to an undescribed species, but this is not certain, and should await further collection from Saudi Arabia and detail study of the A. pseudococci -complex.
