Abstract
Eight new species of chalcidoid wasps of the family Eurytomidae are described from Israel (six species) and Turkmenistan (two species). Eurytoma monticola Zerova sp. n. belongs to the fumipennis species group. It is close to E. tumida Walk. and E. paralia Grah., but differs from them in the more elongated abdomen without clearly expressed petiolus, longer marginal vein and enlarged stigma. Eurytoma calicotomae Zerova sp. n. belongs to the robuata species group, it is close to E. collina Zer., but differs from this species in the globular abdomen and longer radial vein. Eurytoma hermonica Zerova sp. n. belongs to the cynipsea species group. It differs from all the species of this group in the longer marginal and postmarginal veins and black color of the body. Bruchophagus (Bruchophagus) petiolatus Zerova sp. n. resembles B. medicaginis Zer., but differs from it in somewhat longer abdominal petiolus and longer marginal vein. Systole (Systole) wasseri Zerova sp. n. is similar to S. foeniculi Otten, but differs from it in more enlarged pedicellus and longer radial vein. Systole (Trichosystole) kezivi Zerova sp. n. differs from all the known species of the subgenus Trichosystole by the longer abdomen in female, longer and enlarged first funicular segment and longer postmarginal and radial veins. Systole (Systole) myartsevae Zerova sp. n. differs from all the known Systole species in the narrow and long first funicle segment and pronotum with dark-yellow spots.
