I found a pdf for identification of Iranian/Persian species which isn't helping.
http://www.programamoscamed.mx/EIS/biblioteca/libros/articulos/khaghaninia%20and%20Gharajedaghi%202013_2%20.pdf
I see C. jaceae but I cannot completely rule out Chaetostomella cylindrica complex.
I am getting frustrated :o
C. jaceae positive id based on accessible keys:
body is yellow/brown? yes
two pair of ocular setae? yes
apical scutellar setae based on black? yes
supra-alar seta based on yellow? yes
pre- and post-sutural dorsocentral setae present? yes
but gena chaetotaxy are not present on this species.
I've looked at all of my photos and the wings seem to be curled a bit.
this curl obstructs my view of the cup cell which is used to identify jaceae in Britain.
I wonder: are there any keys for identifying the various
international species?
the keys that are accessible only separate native species, which is ridiculous.
I am still trying to find keys for C. acrolophi. Anyone know about this species?
back to square one?
anyone willing to start renaming species and publishing keys? i will start collecting. :)
