Eudorylas fuscipes (Zetterstedt, 1844)

Pipunculus fuscipes Zetterstedt, 1844:953

Diagnosis

This species can be recognised by the very large membranous area; rather symmetrical surstyli in dorsal view, left surstylus with squared base, right one with base longer than wide, both surstyli with a rather inner finger-like process in dorsal view; gonopods small, left is higher than right one; phallic guide broad and straight with inner lateral margin distinctly convex, outer lateral margin slightly convex to straight and pointed apex in ventral view (for illustration, see Kehlmaier 2005a: Figure 37a, k).

Distribution

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Macedonia, Netherlands, North Korea, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey (Fig. 6 ) ( Kehlmaier 2005a, Skevington 2020).

Notes

Eudorylas fuscipes is genetically closest to an undescribed Chinese Eudorylas species ( E. sp. China13) differing by 3.77-4.01% (pairwise divergence). It is 3.51%- 4.9% different from E. zonellus Collin, 1956 and 5.90% from E. montium (Becker, 1898).
