Lithostege witzenmanni Standfuss, 1892
Taxonomy.This species belongs to the “bosporaria group” (sensu Rajaei Sh. et al, 2011). This species group consists of following taxa:
Lithostege bosporaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848); L. usgentaria Christoph, 1885; L. witzenmanni Standfuss, 1892; L. dissocyma Prout, 1938; L. hreblayi Rajaei & Viidalepp, 2011; L. samandooki Rajaei, 2011; L. senata Christoph, 1887.
The members of this group are characterized by: sclerotised valves, plate-like, harpe present, at base extended into a simple, free, slender, smooth dorsal projection. Saccus triangular; aedeagus short, straight, with scobinate or shortly dentate vesica. Female genitalia with a deep incision of the posterior margin of antrum.
Remarks. Lederer (1871) reported L. usgentaria from Urmia, NW. Iran. This specimen probably should be identified as L. witzenmanni. L. usgentaria is distributed in the Transcaspian countries only (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan) and reaches Afghanistan, for the fauna of Iran it is an Eastern species, while L. witzenmanni is a western species.
Distribution. This species distributed from From Mardin (Turkey) to NW Iran (see Map 3 in Rajaei et al. 2011).
