Abstract: Hedychridium mochii Strumia, 1994 (Fig. 2A–F) Hedychridium mochii Strumia, 1994:155. Holotype ♀; Myanmar: Rangoon, 24.ii.1972, leg. A. Mochi (Turin). Material examined. 1♀, Kermanshah Province: Bar Aftar, 3.iv.2011, leg. A. Ameri (TMUC). Distribution. * Iran (Kermanshah). Myanmar (Strumia, 1994). Remarks. Hedychridium mochii was known only from the holotype collected in Myanmar. The type was examined in Turin and matches the Iranian specimen for its outstanding diagnostic characters, such as the arched median vein of the anterior wing (straight in Hedychridium monochroum du Buysson, 1888), the length of the second tarsus of the posterior leg, much shorter than the third (as long as the third in H. monochroum); the mesosomal punctation with large and deep punctures when compared to the similar Hedychridium monochroum. The species is very likely distributed in all countries between Iran and Myanmar, as in the case of H. monochroum, but has never been recorded before for its small dimensions and probably for its unknown ecology and biology.
