Euura telos Liston & Prous 2025

330 Euura telos Liston & Prous nom. nov. Fig. 543 Amauronematus terminalis Malaise, 1931b: 46–47. Secondary homonym of Pontania terminalis Marlatt, 1896 [Euura terminalis (Marlatt, 1896)]. Diagnosis Belongs to the E. humeralis group. In females, the postocellar area seems to be longer (2.0–2.5 times as long as diameter of lateral ocellus) than in E. aceroserra and E. humeralis (1.5–2.0 times as long). Ventral margin of valvula 3 in lateral view angled as in E. aceroserra, but valvula 3 may be somewhat shorter. The holotype female is slightly paler (mesepisternum slightly pale) than typical E. humeralis (E. aceroserra is darker), but the females from Primorsky Krai are largely pale (black are antenna, lateral mesoscutal lobes and most of abdomen dorsally). The valviceps of males is dorsally convex as in E. humeralis (more or less straight in E. aceroserra), but the apical margin of the paravalva is perpendicular to the valvispina whereas it is strongly inclined in E. humeralis. Etymology The replacement name telos is the Greek noun τέλος, used in the figurative sense of an ending. Type material examined Holotype Amauronematus terminalis RUSSIA – Kamchatka oblast • ♀; Klutchi [Klyuchi]; 56.32° N, 160.85° E; R. Malaise leg.; NHRS, NHRS-000006399. Host plants Unknown. Genetics COI Based on 3 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.15% and the nearest neighbours, diverging by a minimum of 0.61%, are Euura aceroserra and E. humeralis. Nuclear Based on 3 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.49% (0.18% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.56%, is Euura humeralis. Distribution and material examined East Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Russia.
