A checklist of the genus <i>Tomosvaryella</i> Aczél (Diptera: Pipunculidae) from the Middle East with the description of a new species

A checklist of 39 species of the genus <i>Tomosvaryella</i> Aczél (Diptera, Pipunculidae) known from the Middle East is provided. A new species, <i>T. hamata</i> Majnon Jahromi &amp; Kehlmaier sp. n. is described from southern Iran and diagnostic characters of male and female terminalia are illustrated. <i>Tomosvaryella dentiterebra</i> (Collin, 1949) is redescribed and male and female terminalia are illustrated for the first time. A phylogenetic maximum-likelihood analysis and uncorrected pairwise genetic distances of 18 out of 22 Iranian species of <i>Tomosvaryella</i> based on DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial COI gene are presented and also discussed. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FF8C116D-0C92-431A-B52C-11F3711B6A62
