Planetella strobli ( Kieffer, 1901)

Hormomyia strobli Kieffer, 1901 c: 26 . Type locality: Austria: Styria. Type material. Lost (see CHVÁLA 2008).

Comments. In the original description (without figures), male is described as reddish brown, abdomen with anterior margin light, with lateral spots. The eyes are fused. Palpi with 3 segments, the apical one the longest. Antennae with 2 + 12 segments, described in detail. Wing described in detail. Length 4 mm. Collected by Strobl. The holotype male probably exists somewhere but it has not been located by us. This may be a potentially recognizable species, if the holotype is well preserved. However, according to the monograph by CHVÁLA (2008), the type of P. strobli is not present in the Strobl collection in Admont. The figure of male terminalia in KIEFFER (1913) is not detailed enough to recognize this species.
