Abstract

In this study, the post-larval (female) stage of Abrolophus bochkovi Hakimitabar, Saboori & Fadaei, 2020, previously known only from the larval stage, is described for the first time through experimental laboratory rearing. Larval specimens from Türkiye and Iran were compared to confirm the species identification. In addition, detailed drawings, photographs, and morphometric data are provided for the female of this species. With this contribution, the number of Abrolophus species described from both larval and post-larval stages increases to four. The present study was conducted at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University between 2023 and 2025.
