Name

- Lysiphlebus thelaxis Starý, 1961a: 100–101.
Material examined
11♂ 26♀, Thelaxes suberi (del Guercio) on Quercus sp., GN, Rasht (37°17'24"N, 49°35'43"E, -4 m), 24.V.2004, 4♂ 3♀, coll.: E. Rakhshani; on Quercus castanifolia, GL, Gorgan (36°47'33"N, 54°27'02"E, 340 m), 06.IV.2010, 7♂ 23♀, coll. A. Sargazi.
Comments
This species can be easily separated from other congeners by having mainly erect long setae on the flagellomeres (Fig 2E) and the hind femur (Fig 4E). The setae on the postero-dorsal aspect of petiole are similar (Fig 5E). Additionally, Adialytus thelaxis is the only species with a sharply pointed ovipositor sheath (Fig 6E).
