(new record).
This species has not yet been found in
Iran
and closest record to
Turkey
was from Turkmenia. All species of the genus feed on
Calligonum
(
Moseyko, 2012
)
. Probably, species of
Aphilenia
occurs on most part of area of Asian
Calligonum
spp. The coloration of the specimen is darker than in Central Asian specimens of
A. interrupta
and resembles
A. astakhovi
Moseyko, 2012
from South-Western
Russia
. However, the structure of the spermatheca is identical to that of
A. interrupta
.
