The species C. humilis differs from C. attenuata in having longer aristal hairs and round abdominal spots (pubescent arista and lack of abdominal spots in C. attenuata ) as well as largely dark femora (entirely yellow femora in the male of C. attenuata ). Distribution. New to Iran , C. humilis is found throughout the Holarctic and Oriental regions, North Africa and the Middle East ( Syria , Israel , Arabian Peninsula, Iraq ), Turkey and Armenia ( Pont 2018 , 1991 a , 1986, Barták et al. 2004 ). Remarks. In Indonesia , Harwanto et al . (2004) studied the behaviour and predation rates of C. humilis on leafmining agromyzid and fungus gnat pests in both the laboratory and potato croplands.
