| Abstract: | Lomaspilis bithynica Wehrli, 1954 formerly treated as a subspecies of I. opis (Butler, 1878) is recognized as a distinct species after an examination of the holotype and additional material. A differential diagnosis is given to distinguish the species from the other two Palaearctic members of genus Lomaspilis Hu?bner, [1825]. The external and genital features of the three species are figured. L. bithynica has been recorded from the Turkish provinces of Bolu, Trabzon, C?ankiri, Erzurum, Erzincan, Artvin, Rize, and Kars. It is recorded here for the first time from Europe based on specimens collected recently in central Greece. Data on bionomics are also given. |
