Euura fuscula

114 Euura fuscula (Lindqvist, 1958) Fig. 125 Pteronidea fuscula Lindqvist, 1958: 116–117. Diagnosis The female holotype is mostly black and externally most similar to species in the bipartita and flavescens groups. The lancet (17 serrulae) is most similar to E. bipartita, E. fuscarima, and E. lienterica, but does not clearly fit these species (E. fuscarima is also significantly paler, and usually the other two species are as well): sutures of middle annuli somewhat S-shaped as in E. lienterica (more or less straight or arcshaped in E. fuscarima and E. bipartita), but setae are significantly longer than in at least E. lienterica. The serrulae of E. fuscula seem to be most similar to E. fuscarima. In the absence of genetic data it is difficult to say whether E. fuscula could be a synonym of an existing species or is distinct. The male paratype http://id.luomus.fi/GL.3565 belongs to the E. flavescens group (species uncertain).
