Distribution. Algeria, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Turkey ( Turrisi 2007 ) and Iran ( Ghahari 2012 ; Turrisi 2013a , b , c ). Distribution in Iran. West Azarbaijan province ( Ghahari 2012 : DU). Diagnosis. P. barbeyi is a small to medium-sized species, with body length (excluding ovipositor) of 6.7-11.8 mm, fore wing length 5.1-8.1 mm; ovipositor length 1.3 x fore wing length (holotype), but variable length among specimens from Turkey. It is readily distinguished by the shape of the head with a very narrow cerciniform occipital carina (width less than 0.2 x ocellus diameter), rounded latero-ventral margin of pronotum without tooth-like processes, tarsal claw bearing two tooth-like processes along the inner margin, and a short and stocky petiole. Hosts. Ghahari (2012) mentioned an unknown Buprestidae as host of this species in Iran, living on Abies .
