Podocera soniae

Material examined.

Discussion.
The specimen listed above was examined in 2003 by B. Merz and identified as
Stenomicra delicata
. However, this record was forgotten and, hence, the specimen was not revised by
MERZ & ROHÁČEK (2005)
. During my 2011 visit in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (
Stockholm
), the specimen was re-examined and found to belong to
S. soniae
.
ROHÁČEK (2009)
discussed the probable occurrence of
S. soniae
in
Sweden
(Småland) on the basis of notes by
ANDERSSON (1991)
but stated that without the revision of a voucher specimen this record cannot be verified. Thus, the above listed male specimen represents the first reliable record from
Sweden
(
Södermanland
) and the northernmost known locality of
S. soniae
.
Distribution.
Hitherto the species has been recorded from
Switzerland
,
Germany
,
Czech Republic
(
Bohemia
,
Moravia
),
Slovakia
,
Romania
,
Bulgaria
(see
MERZ & ROHÁČEK 2005
), northern
Italy
(VON
TSCHIRNHAUS 2008
) and
Sweden
(new).
