Euura taegeri

132 Euura taegeri (Lacourt, 1996) Figs 106, 340 Polynematus taegeri Lacourt, 1996b: 13–14. Holotype ♀ (MNHN), not examined. Type locality: France, Provence-Alpes-Cote-d’Azur, Ailefroide. Diagnosis Its small subapical claw tooth and the type of lancet (annuli with short and stout setae, all annuli bearing serrulae with denticles) suggest that the species may be most closely related to E. infirma. Ventrally strongly concave lancet, only basal-most annulus without setae, and more annuli (14–15) definitely suggest that E. taegeri is a species distinct from E. infirma (ventrally straight or slightly concave lancet, three basal annuli without setae, 12 annuli). The males are most similar to E. annulata in colouration and shape of penis valves. In E. taegeri, the valvispina may be somewhat broader than in E. annulata and pseudoceps may be dorsoapically slightly convex (slightly concave in E. annulata). Female 4.5–5.0 mm. Male 4.0– 4.5 mm.
