Claustropyga

Hippa, Heikki & Vilkamaa, Pekka, 2016, New species of Claustropyga Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig (Diptera, Sciaridae) from the Holarctic region, Zootaxa 4088 (4), pp. 594-600 : 599-600

Claustropyga sp. 1

Figs 5 A, B

Material studied. CANADA, Alberta, Munn Creek, 53°30’ N, 118°10’ W, spruce forest, Malaise trap 23.vii– 15.ix.1994 (1 male in PWMP).

Discussion. The studied specimen resembles the Holarctic Claustropyga aperta , but differs in the lower

number of gonostylar megasetae (6 versus 9) ( Fig. 5 A) and by lacking any sign of a tooth-like lobe on the lateral margin of the tegmen ( Fig. 5 B; Hippa et al. 2003: figs 6 c–d; Vilkamaa & Hippa 2007: figs 2 F–E). We suspect that this specimen represents an undescribed species.
