- N/A
Sphenoptera (Chrysoblemma) anchorifera sp. n. is described from Sahara (Algeria). A differential diagnosis and illustrations of the new species are given. The new species can be distinguished from all known Sphenoptera species by the peculiar shape of the aedeagus (parameres bearing long curved lateral processes). The larva develops in roots of Salsola sp. (Chenopodiaceae).
