Abstract

A new species of the genus Maindronia Bouvier is described from a single female specimen collected in Iran. It appears close to M. mascatensis Bouvier but displays a distinct chaetotaxy compared to that illustrated by earlier authors. The morphology of the species is described in line with current standards including information on the notal trichobothria and the specialized sensilla of the antennae and palps. © 2020 Smith, Molero-Baltanas, Jaberhashemi, Rafinejad.
