On Taxonomic Position of Some Horsefly Species (Diptera, Tabanidae) from Talysh. Andreeva R. V.,
Zeynalova Z. A. – Atylotus talyschensis sp. n. is described; it is similar to A. rusticus ochraceus Olsufjev

and 3rd antennal joint. Species rank is given to Ò. terterjani Andreeva et Dolin, 1982 (originally de-
scribed in subspecies rank, as Tabanus canipalpis terterjani Andreeva et Dolin), based upon comparison
with characters of nominotypical subspecies.

Talysh, the south-eastern province of Azerbaijan, is a well-reputed region among entomologists as a ref-
uge of relict insect fauna elsewhere extinct, including rare southern European and Mediterranean forms and
endemic species of several insect orders.
Five endemic tabanid species have been recorded for Talysh (Zeynalova, 2001) including the part,
which extends into adjoining territories of Iran; one species, belonging to the genus Atylotus Osten Sacken, is
found to be new for science. Its description is given below. Tabanus canipalpis terterjani Andreeva et Dolin,
originally described from Armenia (Andreeva, Dolin, 1982) recently was found in Talysh.
Atylotus talyschensis Andreeva et Zeynalova, sp. n.
Type ma t e r i a l . Holotype }, Azerbaijan, Bilasuvar reg., near village Samedabad, 1.07.2000 (Zeyna-
lova) (SIZK); paratypes: 3 }, same data as in holotype (SIZK, APUB).
Descr ipt ion. Female. Eyes bare, frontal strip parallel, 4—4.2 times as long as
broad, sometimes a little broader in the middle, covered with light, yellow incrustation
and short sparse aureate-bronze hairs (fig. 1). Frontal calluses well-marked, large and
shining; lower frontal callus nearly circular, light-brown, divided in halves by a vertical
groove; middle frontal callus ovate, oblong antero-posteriorly, sometimes a little nar-
rower than lower callus (fig. 1), and black. Occiput posterior to eyes clothed with
short, rather sparse light hairs. Antennae pale-yellow, 3rd antennal segment 1.5 times
as long as its maximal breadth (fig. 2), its angle obtuse and rounded, located in basal
third of segmental facet. Antennal palpi pale-yellow; apical segment slender, strongly
ensiform, covered with dense light hairs with several black hairs interspersed (fig. 3).
Prothorax greyish-black, notopleura light-brown. Legs light-brown, or sometimes
dark-yellow; tarsi and tips of hind tibiae darkened. Wings hyaline; R4 vein with long
appendage. Abdomen reddish-brown with spots of short, yellow and black hairs. Ab-

dominal tergites I and II with narrow black median strip, less than 1/5 the breadth of
tergite; tergite have with black transverse spot in the middle; tergites VI and VII al-
most entirely black. Gonapophysis (subgenital plate, fig. 4) moderately wide, with a
small apical notch in the middle; cerci oval, rounded at apex (fig. 5). Abdomen ven-
trally reddish-yellow-brown with a small black spot in the middle of sternite I, which
extends to and on anterior margin of sternite II. Body length 12.0-13.3 mm.
Male unknown.
Position of A. talyschensis sp. n. is intermediate between the groups of yellow-
brown and bluish- or blackish-grey species (Olsufiev, 1977: 283). The new species
shares reddish-yellow-brown gaster with the first group, while in its dark thorax and
the absence of ochreous hairs on gastral tergites the new species resembles species in
the second group. Frontal calluses of A. talyschensis are similar to those of A. rusticus
Linnaeus, differing in the lower callus brown in A. talyschensis (as in A. quadrifarius
Low) whereas in A. rusticus, it is black. Shape of the apical segment of antennal palpi,
also is similar to that in A. rusticus. In A. talyschensis it the apical segment is clothed
with more uniformly light hairs with only occasional admixture of black ones. Other-
wise A. talyschensis sp. n. is clearly distinct from A. rusticus in the coloration and pilia-
tion of abdomen, in the shape of terminalia and by the longer appendage of the R4
vein.
Tabanus terterjani Andreeva et Dolin, 1982, change of rank
Tabanus canipapis terterjani Andreeva et Dolin, 1982 (description of imago and larva); Andreeva, 1990.
Described from Armenia (Garni area of the Khosrov Reserve) as a subspecies of
Tabanus canipalpis Bigot occurring in south-eastern Iran (Baluchistan province in sub-
tropics, on date palm cultivation lands). Based on examination of specimens of T.

canipalpis Bigot s. str., however, several important differences between them were
found. It allows us to raise T. terterjani from subspecies to the full species rank.
Main differences are in the characters of the frontal stripe, in the inclination of
ocular stripe, the colour of body and legs, on the terminalia, and in average body
length. The differences are summarised in the table 1.
No doubt, therefore, these two morphological forms represent two separate spe-
cies based on differences of examined characters.
