Genetics

COI

Based on 6 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.31% and the nearest neighbours, diverging by a minimum of 0.61%, are Euura flavescens and E. renei .

Nuclear

Based on 5 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.08% (0% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.7%, is Euura serela sp. nov.

Distribution and material examined

Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Finland, and Sweden.
