Maruca vitrata (Fabricius, 1787) (Figs 14F, 17A‒C) Material examined. Sistân and Baluchestân Prov.: 1 ♀, Nikshahr, Sahm, 490 m, 10.xi.1996, Barâri, Sarafrâzi, Parchami-Arâghi leg. (gen. prep. HA-1358, HMIM). Distribution. Native in tropics and subtropics. It is also reported from Eastern Palaearctic and imported to Europe (Denmark, England, S France) (Slamka 2013). Remarks. In the single examined male, the fibulae are not curved and almost sickle-shaped as it is figured in Slamka (2013: 181), but are nearly triangular with blunt tips (Fig. 17A). Additionally, the shape of the cornutus is different from that shown by Slamka (2013) (Fig. 17B, C). Genitalia probably show intraspecific variability. The genus and species are newly reported for the fauna of Iran.
