Abstract
A new Larinus species is described from Iran which constructs a pupal chamber out-side of the host plant stems, named “trehala”. Larinus trehalanus sp. n. is a fifth trehala-constructing species from this genus. The host plant is Cousinia stocksii C. Winkl. (Asteraceae). The larva builds up the trehala on the stem base and develops individually inside this trehala capsule. Then pupation and the new generation of adult emergence take place in the same niche. A description, differential diagnosis, illustration, and short ecological notes are given for the new species.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4EC9A987-D77B-4618-9250-D6E6DD9C71E3
