Description of Mustha izmirensis, New Species (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Halyini) From Bornova, Izmir, Turkey with Key to its World Species

摘要

Mustha izmirensis described from Bornova, Izmir, Turkey is distinguished from all species of Mustha in general and its closest ally M. spinosula (Lefebvre) in particular on the basis of dorso-posterior margin of pygophore without median projection and L- shaped paramere instead of F- shaped, which is a usual character of the genus. The description and illustration of female genitalia including spermatheca in addition to other important morphological characters like metathoracic scent auricle and male genitalia inflated aedeagus of Mustha species are given for the first time. A key to all nine world known species of Mustha is presented here including new species, which appears to be a new record of the genus Mushta from Turkey in the existing literature.
