Eudorylas jenkinsoni Coe, 1966

Diagnosis

This species can be recognised by the size of the right surstylus in dorsal view, wider than long with inner finger-like projection; left surstylus triangular-shaped in dorsal view and dorsal margin of left surstylus humped in lateral view; gonopods small and equal in height; phallic guide short and straight with two triangular projection dorsomedially in lateral view (for illustration, see Kehlmaier, 2005: Fig. 31a, n).

Distribution

Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iran (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ), Italy, Japan, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland ( Kehlmaier 2005a, Motamedinia et al. 2017, Skevington 2020).

Notes

DNA barcodes of Eudorylas jenkinsoni overlap with those of E. obliquus (0.62-1.63% pairwise divergence). The genitalia of these species differ by the size of the right surstylus in dorsal view, wider than long in E. jenkinsoni , so this is likely another case of recently-diverged species or ancestral hybridisation. There is always a possibility that it is a single species with polymorphic genitalia, so future genetic work is warranted.
