Abstract

In this study, we describe a new species, Schizoprymnus (Schizoprymnus) cani Koldaş sp.n., from Edirne, Turkey. The new species differs from S. (S.) telengai Tobias by having (1) antennae with 20–21 segments (antennae with 14–18 segments in S. (S.) telengai; (2) ovipositor sheath 1.17 times longer than metasoma (ovipositor sheath 0.5 times metasoma in S. (S.) telengai; (3) legs reddish yellow (legs are dark coloured in S. (S.) telengai). Diagnostic morphological characters and detailed illustrations are provided. The types of new species are deposited in the Entomological Museum of Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey (EMTU).
