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

DIAGNOSIS. 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.

Israel
,
Netherlands

Poland
,
Spain

,
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.

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).
