First findings of two species of Tephritidae (Diptera) from Armenia, with a description of a new host-associated population of Terellia odontolophi Korneyev, 1993

As part of biological inventory of tephritid flies being conducted in Armenia, we report new data on the morphology, distribution and host plants for these flies. The first findings of Terellia barughii Zarghani, Khaghaninia, Mohamadzade et Korneyev, 2017 and Tephritis pulchra (Loew, 1844) from Armenia are recorded. The glans of the phallus and the epandrium of T. pulchra are illustrated for the first time. Oligochaeta divaricata (Fisch. et C.A. Mey.) K. Koch. was identified as a new host of Terellia barughii and Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794). A new population of Terellia odontolophi associated with Psephellus erivanensis Lipsky is illustrated and briefly described; the latter plant is recorded for the first time as a host of T. odontolophi. Information about distribution, new host plants, and illustrated diagnostic features needed for identification is provided for each species. Illustrations of the host plant species in habitat are also provided.
