- Terellia babaki V. Korneyev, new species Figs. 8–12. Type material. Holotype ♀: Iran: Qazvin, Kallaj, olive orchards on Tarom Rd. 36°41'00"N 49°17'00"E, 556 m a. s. l., 8.vi.2014, swept from? Amberboa sp. (V. Korneyev leg.) (SIZK). Description. Head (Fig. 9): shape generally as described for T. amberboae; HR = 1: 1.1: 1.6; genal height / eye height ratio 0.25. Peristomal setulae white, not spread anterio-dorsally beyond vibrissal edge, shorter than 0.5 of distance between genal and lower margin of gena; setulae anterior to genal seta short, yellow, subequal to peristomal; occipital setae white. Flagellomere 1 with convex dorsal margin. Palp pale yellow, moderately short, narrow. Thorax (Figs. 8, 11) as described for T. amberboae. Legs (Fig. 8) as described for T. amberboae, orange-yellow, fore femur with two rows of posterodorsal yellow setae and one row of white posteroventral setae. Wing: hyaline with pattern consisting of yellow pterostigma, and two brown spots in cell r1, (Fig. 10); distal section of vein M 1.75 times as long as section between crossveins r-m and dm-cu; cell bcu (=cup) with short posteroapical lobe not reaching level of bm-cu crossvein. WL ♀ = 4.7 mm. Abdomen: yellow; all tergites white setulose, with yellow or brownish-yellow marginal setae; tergites 3–6 each with 2 large black spots mediobasally wider than yellow area between them. Female terminalia (not dissected): aculeus apically acute, as in T. amberboae (Fig. 12); AL = 1.25 mm; AL/ C2 = 1.1. Male unknown. Host plant unknown. Discussion. This species is closely related to T. amberboae in having an acute aculeus, differing from it by the smaller dark brown spots on wing (large and pale yellow in T. amberboae). Etymology. The species is named in honour of Dr. Babak Gharali, Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Ghazvin, Iran.
