Material examined. DENMARK: Havrehede, 1.v.2019, 1♀ (specimen after DNA extraction,No. PLA 20), reared from galls on Carex acutiformis, H. H. Bruun leg.; the same locality, date and collector, 1 ♀ (specimen after DNA extraction, No. PLA 21), reared from galls on Carex elata ; Denmark, Toggerup Enghave, 30.iii.2019, 1 larva (specimen after DNA extraction, No. PLA 25) in galls on Carex cespitosa, H. H. Bruun leg. (all in coll. JSL-UOC).
Comments. This material was tentatively identified by H. H. Bruun and M. Skuhravá as P. tarda Rübsaamen 1914 , according to the shape and position of the galls. Howev- er, both the female specimens studied have the antennae broken-off, so we cannot confirm their conspecificity with the specimens of P. tarda with 15 flagellomeres in Berlin museum. According to the position in the phylogenetic tree ( Fig. 15), its closest relative is Planetella granifex , so most probably this species has 12 flagellomeres and other characters typical of P. granifex .
