Name
Adialytus ambiguus (Haliday, 1834) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Aphidius ambiguus Haliday, 1834: 104–105.
Material examined
1♂ 1♀, Sipha elegans del Guercio on Triticum aestivum, FA, Shiraz (29°34'22"N, 52°41'58"E, 1489 m), 27.IV.2005, 1♂ 1♀, coll.: E. Rakhshani.
Comments:
This species is closely related to other parasitoids of Sipha aphids, in its elongated ovipositor sheath (Fig 6A) and triangular shape of petiole which bears anterior and spiracular tubercles (Fig 5A). It can be differentiated from other species in having an extremely long vein R1 (= metacarpus) (Fig 3A). The hind femur and tibia are covered with both short and prevalently erect long setae (Fig. 4A).
