Euura tunicata

255 Euura tunicata (Zaddach, 1883) Fig. 279 Nematus tunicatus Zaddach, 1883 in Brischke 1883: 155–156, 166–167. Syntypes ♀♀ (ZSM? Ex Sturm Collection, not located); other specimens probably destroyed (Blank & Taeger 1998). Type localities: Germany, Nürnberg and Bautzen; Poland, Silesia; Russia, Kaliningrad [Königsberg]. Nematus laevis Brischke, 1883: 155–156, 174–175. Syntypes ♀♀, probably destroyed (Blank & Taeger 1998). Type locality: Poland, Jäschkenthal. Synonymy by Konow (1902c). Amauronematus sollemnis Konow, 1895: 180–181. Lectotype ♀ (HNHM), designated by Muche (1975), not examined. Type locality: Hungary. Synonymy by Hellén (1970). Amauronematus forsiusi Enslin, 1915: 384–385. Lectotype designated below. Synonymy by Hellén (1970). Diagnosis Black pterostigma, papilliform serrulae, and mostly or ventrally pale abdomen distinguish the species from the other Euura. Specimens from Iran have a completely black hind tibia: in most other specimens only the apical third is black. Male unknown. Males mentioned by Lindqvist (1961b: figs 4–5) belong to Nematus umbratus (as A. tunicatus, http://id.luomus.fi/GL.2773) and histrio group (as A. sollemnis, http://id.luomus.fi/GL.2761). The penis valve of GL.2761 is most similar to DEI-GISHym84228 (E. striata), externally like E. rufa. Type material examined Lectotype Amauronematus forsiusi, here designated FINLAND – Uusimaa • ♀; Karislojo [Karjalohja]; 60.243° N, 23.723° E; 25–28 Jun. 1910; R. Forsius leg.; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3678. Host plants Salix aurita (Forsius 1920), S. caprea, S. myrsinifolia and S. starkeana. Genetics COI Based on 6 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 3.34% and the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 4.6%, is Euura punicea. Nuclear Based on 2 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.23% (0.22% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 1.19%, is Euura lethe. Distribution and material examined Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Finland, Iran, and Sweden.
