The Fruit Flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Tehran Province, with New Records for Iranian Fauna.
Mohamadzade Namin S., Nozari J., Rasoulian Gh. — As the result of studies of the tephritid flies in Tehran
Province (Iran) in 2008–2009, 38 species of 22 genera are found to occur in this region; altogether 47
species are listed; of them, 9 species and 2 genera (Chetostoma and Xyphosia) are recorded for the first
time for Iranian fauna. In addition, Steptorrhamphus tuberosus is reported as a new host plant for Ensina
sonchi.

The family Tephritidae (or fruit flies) is one of the largest families of acalyptrate Diptera with about 4500
species. Most species are phytophagous and some of them are injurious pests or effectively used in biological
control programs against weeds (White, Elson-Harris, 1992).
Tehran Province has area about 19,000 km2. Before this study, little information was available on the
tephritid flies of this region. Dirlbek (1980) reported Euarestella iphionae from Tehran. Recently, Gilasian (2008)
and Mohamadzade, Rasoulian (2009) added 19 and 2 species, correspondingly, to the list. Thus, 21 species
were known up to date from Tehran Province.
Material and methods
Materials are collected by standard sweeping net or reared from flower heads of asteraceous plants.
Species were identified according to Hendel (1927), Freidberg, Kugler (1989), White, Elson-Harris (1992),
Merz (1994) and Korneyev, White (1992–2000). Identity of some species was confirmed by Dr. V. A. Korneyev
(Kyiv, Ukraine).
All the material is deposited in the Zoological Museum at the University of Tehran.
Results
Thirty-nine Tephritidae species were collected in Tehran Province, of them, twen-
ty-six species are recorded for the first time from this region; nine species of them and
two genera are reported for the first time for Iranian fauna.
The subfamilies, tribes and species are listed in alphabetic order. Detailed morpho-
logical descriptions are not given. For further information, refer to the works of Hendel
(1927), White (1988); Freidberg, Kugler (1989), White, Elson-Harris (1992), Merz (1994)
and Korneyev, White (1999).

mostly reduced subbasal crossband on the wing, differing by the subbasal crossband almost
inconspicuous and the discal crossband short (fig. 2, 2). It cannot be identified from a
single specimen without knowing its range of variability of the wing pattern, host plant,
localization and morphological features of larvae.

Urophora terebrans (Loew, 1850)
Korneyev, White, 1999; Gharali, Merz, Lotfalizadeh, 2005.
Ma t e r i a l e x amined. 3 {, 4 }, 5 km North East Abali, 2360 m, 35°50.304 N, 51°58.980 E, from flower
heads of Cirsium lappaceum, date of collecting: 8.08.2008, exit 22.08.2008 (Mohamadzade).
D i s t r i bu t i on. Europe, Russian, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey (Norrbom et al.,
1999). Gharali, Merz and Lotfalizadeh (2005) reported “U. terebrans” as reared from
Centaurea, with mention of a species associated with Carthamus tinctorius L. It is not under-
stood from that short note, what species of Centaurea serves as the host for this species
or was it correctly identified at all; taking into account that U. terebrans is associated only
with Cirsium, Cynara and Onopordum species, that report is considered doubtful; it could
belong to U. sirunaseva (Hering) occurring in neighboring Armenia on Cent. solstitialis L.
or an undescribed species. Therefore this find is in fact the first confirmed record of U. tere-
brans from Iran.
D i a gno s i s. All femora entirely yellow. Wing more than 4 mm long, with 3 cross-
bands and subbasal crossband present as darkening near apex of cell bm. (fig. 2, 3). Aculeus
