Miscophus helveticus species group

The males of the M. helveticus species group are difficult or impossible to identify because they lack identification characters of the females as foretarsal spines or apical clypeal margin, and their colour pattern or wing colour is different from these of females. For that reason they are not keyed here. Two of the described species (females) were collected together with clearly marked males, which are described together with the corresponding female. Because the species look very similar in most aspects, only the differentiating features are described here.
