Anacharis petiolata, stat. rev.

Anacharis petiolata (Zetterstedt, 1838) stat. rev. Figs 2 C, 15 A – E Cynips petiolata Zetterstedt, 1838: 409 - lectotype (MZLU) ♀, photographs examined. Anacharis gracilipes Ionescu, 1969: 75 syn. nov. (removed from synonymy with A. eucharioides) - holotype (MGAB) ♀, examined. Diagnosis (n = 9). Belongs to the eucharioides species group. Medium sized species (3.0–3.4, mean 3.2 mm, similar to A. eucharioides, A. martinae and A. typica). Differing from A. eucharioides and A. martinae by having a centrally smooth mesoscutellum (Fig. 15 D, E, centrally carinate in A. eucharioides and A. martinae) and a smooth lateromedial area of the pronotum (Fig. 15 B, rugose to obliquely carinate in A. eucharioides and A. martinae). Differs from A. typica mainly by having the hind coxa less distinctly bicoloured, weak paling is notable apically (Fig. 15 A, distinctly bicoloured with distinct paling in hind coxa in A. typica). The hind trochanter in A. petiolata is similarly dark as the hind coxa (similar pattern of paling as hind coxa or pale as hind femur in A. typica). Additional to morphological differences, based on the limited material at hand, A. petiolata seems to be exclusively collected in boreal or montane environments from above 1,000 meters above sea level (whilst A. typica is collected from temperate environments below 700 meters above sea level). CO 1 barcode. n = 9. Maximum intraspecific distance: 2.2 %. Minimum distance to closest species (A. eucharioides): 3.2 %.

Biology. Summer species, flying from July to September, peak in July. Seems confined to alpine, arctic or boreal habitats. Distribution. Finland (locus typicus of A. petiolata: Lapland, Muonio, likely on Finnish side of Muonio River, see remarks), Germany (Alps), Greenland, Romania (locus typicus of A. gracilipes: Rarău massif (Eastern Romanian Carpathians) at “ 1,950 m ” altitude according to Ionescu (1969) [highest peak according to Wikipedia is at 1651 m]), Switzerland. DNA barcode matches with publicly available sequences from Canada (e. g. ABINP 3207-21) and Norway (e. g. GWNWG 2160-14). In Central Europe restricted to elevations above 1900 m a. s. l. but occurring at lower altitudes in arctic and subarctic, boreal landscapes. Remarks. A. petiolata (Zetterstedt, 1838, often erroneously cited as Zetterstedt, 1840) was synonymised with A. eucharioides by Fergusson (1986) and was erroneously listed as synonym of A. immunis in Mata-Casanova et al. (2018). The type locality of A. petiolata is Muonio, Lapland (in the description: “ Pinetis Lapponiae ad Muonioniska ” (Zetterstedt 1838)). Muonio is a municipality in present-day Finland (belonging to Russia at the time of Zetterstedt’s visit), where Zetterstedt visited local entomologist Kolström during his 1821 Lapland journey. The Muoniojoki river, which flows indirectly downstream into the Torne river, marks the border between Finland and Sweden near the municipality of Muonio and it is unclear whether Zetterstedt crossed it to collect insects from both sides of the river, though he mentions how scary it is to cross the river, making it unlikely that he frequently did so (Zetterstedt 1822). In conclusion, whether the lectotype was collected in modern day Finland or Sweden is probably impossible to tell and the question itself of minor significance. There are no descriptive labels on the lectotype. Fergusson (1986) stated that the lectotype was held at NHRS, but it is actually deposited at the MZLU. The sex of the lectotype is difficult to discern, due to the missing antennae and only images available to us. We consider it a male, as the original label shows, though that is in contrast to what Fergusson (1986) wrote. Apparently, the specimen was already in a poor condition when Fergusson studied it and he could not reliably identify the sex either. On the primary type of A. gracilipes: Mata-Casanova et al. (2018) cites a lectotype of A. gracilipes as primary type. However, Ionescu specifically mentions a holotype in his publication, though without giving unambiguous details about the actual specimen (Ionescu 1969). The ICZN states in 73.1. 2., that “ If the taxon was established before 2000 evidence derived from outside the work itself may be taken into account [Art. 72.4.1.1] to help identify the specimen. ” The loaned specimen from MGAB with the Museum ID “ GAL 340 / 9 ” bears the word “ holotip ” on its label, along with information on locality and time that match the description of the type series.
