Asynapta baltica Spungis View in CoL
Figs 18–19 View FIGURES 18–24
As mentioned above under A. rickebasta , our previous report of A. baltica occurring in Sweden (Jaschhof & Jas- chhof 2013: 314f.) was based on misidentification and is herewith withdrawn. A definite proof of the Swedish distribution of this species is presented here by all of three males from Uppland ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 18–24 ) and Dalarna, whose specific identity we verified by comparison with specimens from Latvia and Ukraine authoritatively determined by Voldemars Spungis. In terms of male morphology A. baltica resembles two new Asynapta described above, A. rickebasta and A. taigensis , from which it differs as follows.
Diagnosis. The gonostylus, which is markedly bent and strongly tapered towards the apex, has an unusually small claw apically ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 18–24 , ↓ 1). The gonocoxal synsclerite is clearly broader than long, and its common ventroanterior edge is straight rather than convex ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 18–24 ). The ventral parameres are reduced to form a small, rectangular structure, which projects ventrally through the gonocoxal emargination ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 18–24 , ↓ 2); from a different angle the rectangle’s side edges appear thickened and strongly sclerotized ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 18–24 ).
Material studied. Sweden: 1 male, Uppland, Håbo, Biskops Arnö , swampy grove, 7 September 2003 – 1 June 2004, MT, SMTP (trap 8, collecting event 394) (spn. no. CEC 1631 in NHRS) ; 2 males, Dalarna, Säter, Säterdalen, Näsåkerspussen , alder forest, 18–31 May 2005, MT, SMTP (trap 10, collecting event 1621) (spn. no. CEC 1755 in NHRS, spn. no. CEC 1756 in SDEI) . Latvia: 2 males, Saulkalne , 28 May 1981 and 20 May 1985, V. Spungis (in IBUL) . Ukraine: 1 male, Kievskaja oblast, Malaja Olshanka , 19 May 1987, Z.L. Berest (in IBUL) .
Geographic distribution. The distribution as presently known of A. baltica comprises Sweden (Uppland, Dalarna), Latvia, and Ukraine ( Spungis 1988; this paper).
