are more elongated (Fig 117), the mesopleuron without striae, very delicately coriaceous (Fig. 118), and the gall induced by D. mayri is quite different (Fig. 119). Dryocosmus cerriphilus (- D. nervosus), sexual generation is most closely related to D. mikoi sp. n., however, it differs in much darker colouration of the body, which is dark brown to black, never light brown to yellow; the head in the female is much higher in frontal view, compound eyes do not curve outwards in the ventral part of the head, central elevated area of the lower face more strongly coriaceous; vertex, interocellar area dull rugose (Figs 120-121); in the male the gena is more broadened behind the eye, sculpture of the head is duller, length of head from above is shorter (Figs 122-123); the scutum in females with strongly emarginated lateral sides (Fig. 124), the scutellum with duller sculpture, scutellar foveae usually not delimited posteriorly, the median carina between them sometimes hardly visible or absent and then the scutellar foveae are fused in a form of an anterior transverse impression (Fig. 124); the pronotum, especially the ventro-lateral edge, strongly carinated with strong wrinkles (Fig. 125); the metapleural sulcus distinctly reaches mesopleuron in its anterior half (Fig. 125); the central propodeal area delimited with more distinct lateral propodeal carinae, the central propodeal area with longitudinally irradiating striae (Fig. 126.). Also the gall of D. cerriphilus, sexual generation is quite different, more rounded (Figs 127-128). Etymology - In honour of Dr. ISTVÁN MlKÓ, our friend and researcher at the Systematic Párásítóid Laboratory, Plant Protection and Soil Conservation Service of County Vas, Kőszeg, Hungary. Distribution - Iran, along the Zagros mountain ridge (Lorestan Province, Ghelaie and Shoorab; Ham Province, Somar; Phars Province, near Shiraz; Mazandaran Province, Chalos. Figs 127-128.
