Specific discussion.
This is a widely distributed species in the Palaearctic region (
Zaitzev 1994
,
Sasakawa 2004
,
Chandler 2013
), and as far as we know supposed to extend also to North America (
Laffoon 1965
,
Chandler 2013
). The species was first reported from the Nearctic region by
Coquillett (1900
: 391) and thereafter by
Johannsen (1911
: 264, Fig. 145) and
Fisher (1937
: 171, Plate 12: Fig. 12), while all subsequently published information is of secondary nature. However,
Fisher (1937
: 171) already questioned conspecificity of the Nearctic material and as far as we can judge from the figures of both authors, these represent a different species. Thus, the occurrence of
Neuratelia nemoralis
in the Nearctic region remains open with need for the future study.
