A new species of Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera:Tephritidae) from Turkey with a key to the dzieduszyckii group

Abstract

This study was based on specimens of Urophora Rob-Des, 1830 collected from Niğde province in Turkey during the summers of 2012-2013. A new species, Urophora turkeyensis n. sp. associated with Echinops ritro L., is described and placed in the Urophora dzieduszyckii group. U. turkeyensis n. sp. is similar to U. dzieduszyckii Frauenfeld, U. pontica (Hering) and U. notata (Belanovskij) in the black palpi, having four transverse bands of wing, black femora and general dark coloration. It can be easily distinguished from the other group species by the different wing pattern and aculeus. A key to the species of the dzieduszyckii group, male and female genitalia figures of U. turkeyensis n. sp. are given in this paper
