Type
locality:

Diagnosis and notes
This species is rather closely related to
Chrysopa sogdianica
by similar male and female genitalia (
C. astarte
:
Hölzel 1967
: figs 2–8;
C. sogdianica
: Hölzel 1966
: figs 1–6) and lack of basal dilation of pretarsal claws, but it differs from
C. sogdianica
by the absence of dark markings on scape and occiput, and the presence of im cell in forewing. This Palaearctic species was originally described from
Afghanistan
(Paghman),
Iran
(
Tehran
), and
Pakistan
(Quetta) (
Hölzel 1967
). No additional specimens were added in this study.
