Allaretella germanica Meyer & Spungis, 1994

Allaretella germanica differs from the other Lestremiinae by the presence in both sexes of long, multibranched translucent sensilla on the flagellomeres and membranous windows on the thorax (one large prescutellar window and two smaller presutural windows, the latter not mentioned in previous descriptions). A full description of this species was provided by Meyer & Spungis (1994) and Jaschhof (1998).
