Euura putoni

282 Euura putoni (Konow, 1903) Figs 296, 518 Pteronus putoni Konow, 1903b: 307 (key). Lectotype designated by Oehlke & Wudowenz (1984). Amauronematus erythropus Lindqvist, 1975: 17. Syn. nov. Diagnosis Females are most similar to those of E. declinata, which has costa mostly black or dark brown with pale apical and basal edge (uniformly pale in E. putoni). Euura putoni usually has a pale pterostigma, but sometimes it is almost as black as in E. vicina, which has a completely or nearly completely black pronotum and tegula (pale in E. putoni). Colouration (black thorax, except for pale tegula and pronotum, pale pterostigma and costa, pale legs, abdomen mostly or dorsally black) and penis valve usually distinguishes the species from the others. See under E. nigerrima and E. notabilis for additional details. Female 7.5–8.5 mm. Type material examined Lectotype Pteronus putoni FRANCE • ♀; France; SDEI, GBIF-GISHym3868.
