Eleven erythraeid species were collected from their larval stages. Ten of them pertaining to the genus Erythraeus: Erythraeus (Erythraeus) adanaensis, Erythraeus (Zaracarus) chrysoperlae, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) hilariae, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) hypertrichotus, Erythraeus (Zaracarus) kurdistaniesis, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) loomerus, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) phalangoides, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) pistacicus, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) populi, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) soleimanii, and a single species belonging to the genus Leptus: Leptus horiacus. These species are the first recorded in Syria except for Erythraeus (Erythraeus) phalangoides, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) adanaensis and Leptus horiacus that have been previously recorded. | ||
