Occurrence: catalogNumber: JSS52207 ; recordedBy: E. Gilasian ; individualCount: 1 ; sex: male ; lifeStage: adult ; associatedSequences: GB: MN549657; Taxon: scientificName: Eudorylaspannonicus; Location: country: Iran ; stateProvince: Khuzestan; locality: Shush ; decimalLatitude: 32.1 ; decimalLongitude: 48.43 ; Event: samplingProtocol: Malaise trap ; eventDate: 2015-08-20 ; Record Level: institutionCode: CNC Type status: Other material . Occurrence: catalogNumber: JSS52305 ; recordedBy: O. Ozden ; individualCount: 1 ; sex: male ; lifeStage: adult ; associatedSequences: GB: MN549656; Taxon: scientificName: Eudorylaspannonicus; Location: country: Cyprus ; locality: Kyrenia ; decimalLatitude: 35.347 ; decimalLongitude: 33.150400 ; Event: samplingProtocol: Malaise trap ; eventDate: 2017-11-05 /12; Record Level: institutionCode: CNC Diagnosis This species can be recognised by the shape of surstyli in dorsal view, base of both surstyli slightly rectangular-shaped, right surstylus with long inner finger-like projection curved to left surstylus in dorsal view (Fig. 18 A); gonopods unequal, right higher than left one, left one with two small projections in ventral view (Fig. 18 B); phallic guide straight with apical projection pointing upwards in lateral view (Fig. 18 C). Distribution Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Romania ( Skevington 2002b , Kehlmaier 2005a , Gharali et al. 2008 ) (Fig. 6 ). Notes Based on the shape of the genitalia, this species belongs to E. pannonicus form A (see Kehlmaier 2005a Fig. 63a). DNA barcodes of Eudorylas pannonicus and E. nasicus sp. n. are very similar (1.19% pairwise divergence). The genitalia of these species differ by the shape of right surstylus and phallic guide. The finger-like projection of the right surstylus is longer and the projection of the phallic guide is straighter in E. pannonicus . The differences are small, but we and C. Kehlmaier (pers. comm.) feel that they are different species and have treated them as such.
