Anaphes fuscipennis Haliday : Huber, 1992: 36 (key), 38–41 (taxonomic history, synonymy, type information, redescription, distribution, hosts, discussion), 74 (list), 95–99 (illustrations); Huber et al. , 2011: 122–125 (proposed designation of A. fuscipennis as the type species of Anaphes ); ICZN, 2017: 122–124 (designation of A. fuscipennis as type species of Anaphes ). TYPE MATERIAL EXAMINED . Paralectotypes of Anaphes fuscipennis Haliday , here designated: apparently 4 females and 5 males [ MVMA ] on individual F. Walker-style cards on 3 pins (3 cards per pin) without any original labels, labeled later: “NATIONAL MUSEUM VICTORIA 50718-30 Anaphes fuscipennis Europe”; some cards have illegible numbers in pencil near the pinholes. I consider these to be part of the original syntype series of A. fuscipennis because the numbers written in pencil are characteristic of F. Walker specimens, and it is known that A. H. Haliday, F. Walker, and J. Curtis exchanged/shared specimens freely (Graham, 1982). Moreover, the almost certain type locality of the lectotype female of A. fuscipennis , designated by Graham (1982), was vicinity of Southgate (formerly in Middlesex, now within London Borough of Enfield, England , United Kingdom ) (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018), one of F. Walker’s favorite collecting sites (Graham, 1982). It is likely that more than one species of Anaphes are present among these nine paralectotypes of A. fuscipennis in MVMA . Figs 43–46.

FEMALE (specimens from the European part of Russia and Spain ). Body length (slide-mounted specimens) 0.83–0.9 mm . Antenna ( Fig. 43 ) with scape (excluding radicle) 2.8–3.0× as long as wide, with cross-ridges on inner suface; F2–F5 longer than pedicel, F2 5.1–5.5× as long as wide and the longest funicular, F5 and F6 notably wider than preceding funiculars, mps on F5 (usually 1 but 2 on one antenna in the specimen from Spain ) and F6 (2); clava with 6 mps, 2.6–2.7× as long as wide, about as long as combined length of F5 and F6. Fore wing ( Fig. 44 ) 4.5–4.6× as long as wide, with posterior margin slightly outward (convex); longest marginal seta 0.8–1.0× maximum wing width; marginal space separated from medial space by 1–2 lines of setae. Hind wing ( Fig. 44 ) 18–19× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 2.9–3.3× maximum wing width, disc with 1 irregular row of setae and a few additional setae apically. Metatarsomere 1 much longer than metatarsomere 2 ( Fig. 46 ). Ovipositor ( Fig. 45 ) occupying entire length of gaster, extending forward under mesosoma slightly anterior to level of base of mesocoxa, not or just barely exserted beyond apex of gaster posteriorly, and 1.5–1.7× length of metatibia. MALE. Known (Graham, 1982; Huber & Thuróczy, 2018). DISTRIBUTION. Russia *; Algeria , Austria , Canada , Germany , Hungary , Ireland , Israel , Netherlands , Poland , Spain , Sweden , Tunisia , United Kingdom , USA . In the Palaearctic region, A. fuscipennis has a wide north-south distribution from Sweden to Algeria and Tunisia and east-west distribution from Spain to Hungary (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018). Introduced into North America and established in Canada and USA (Huber, 1992; Huber & Thuróczy, 2018) although it could also be a species with a natural Holarctic distribution. Other published records (Noyes, 2019) need verification. HOSTS. Curculionidae (Huber, 1992; Huber et al. , 2020). COMMENTS. As noted above in the Introduction, the records of this species from Leningradskaya oblast’ of Russia and also from Finland by Hellén (1974) were based on misidentifications (Huber, 1992), who stated that Hellén’s redescription applied to another species, not A. fuscipennis (in fact, to a mixture of at least two different species). Indeed, I examined a card-mounted female specimen (in FMNH) from Zelenogorsk, Kurortnyi rayon, Saint Petersburg , Russia , labeled only as “Terijoki. Hellén.” and “136”; in the unpublished W. Hellén’s notebooks in the FMNH, this number on light brown paper corresponds to the following information (M. Koponen, personal communication): collected on 12.VI 1927 at a side of railway tracks. It is definitely not A. ( Anaphes ) fuscipennis ; following slide-mounting, I determined it to belong to A. ( Anaphes ) medius Soyka, 1946 . The same likely applies to Hellén’s (1974) record of A. pratensis Foerster, 1847 , a synonym of A. ( Anaphes ) fuscipennis (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018), from Leningradskaya oblast’. I examined a card-mounted female specimen (in FMNH) from Vyborg, Vyborgskiy rayon, Leningradskaya oblast’, labeled only as “Vyborg” and “Hellén”, which unfortunately has no antennae and thus is impossible to identify; it is definitely some other species of Anaphes because the posterior margin of the fore wing is not slightly convex as in A. ( Anaphes ) fuscipennis . The date of collection of this incomplete specimen is unknown; W. Hellén collected in Vyborg in 1920, 1927 and 1936 (M. Koponen, personal communication).
