Cheilosia cumanica (Dip.: Syrphidae), a new record of flower flies from Iran

Authors

Abstract

Cheilosia (Convocheila) cumanica Szilady is recorded for the first time from Iran. This species is similar to C. laticornis Rondani morphologically; however, is distinguished from this close species in male by hairy eyes (bare in C. laticornis) and in female by longer third antennal segment that is three times longer than the second segment (less than 2.5 times in C. laticornis). This finding increase the number of Cheilosia species known from Iran to seven.
