Zygota vigil Nixon, 1957: 65, male.

BOLD BIN.

No BIN.

Material examined.

Germany: BY: Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 18 - Jul- 2018, 1 ♂.

Diagnosis.

Slender specimens with postmarginal vein clearly shorter than radial cell length (Fig. 9 ); marginal vein slightly longer than parastigma (Fig. 9 C ); occipital pit absent; mesopleuron with only small bare area medially (Fig. 10 B ); axillar depression with scattered setae and only 2 verriculate tubercles; petiole in dorsal view pubescent anteriorly; S 2 without micro-puncture sculpture on its anterior half (Fig. 10 C ); emargination on A 3 distinct but not deep, extending to 0.35 of the segment length; fore tibia not modified, entirely pubescent and with several enlarged setae along its inner side (Fig. 10 D ); petiole with inarticulated elongate carinae (Fig. 10 E ); base of T 2 without lateral corners (Fig. 10 E ); digitus with two narrow and long spines (Fig. 9 B ).

Distribution.

Europe: Austria, Germany *.

Remark.

This species was described by Nixon based on a single male from Austria, but the type of the species was not found (J. Monks pers. com.). Unfortunately, it was not possible to create a BIN from the obtained sequence of the Zygota vigil male due to its length (461 bp).
