Remarks
: The Iranian deutonymphs show a general conformity with the Central European specimens (K.
Viets 1955
). Differences are found in the shape of posterior margin of Cx1+2 which is more rounded in our specimens (
Fig. 14
), while it is more pointed in specimens from Central Europe. However, the attribution of the Iranian populations to the species should be verified by studies on adult specimens.
Figures 1416
show some morphological details of the deutonymph from
Markazi Province
which represent the first record of the species in the study area.
