Comments
. The species was described as
Corynoptera
. The study of additional material of a related species,
fratercula
Vilkamaa & Hippa
, showed however that it is belonging to the genus
Scatopsciara
(see
Sc
.
fratercula
). In contrast to related species of the
Sc. paradoxa
group it does not have two closely neighboring spines in the middle of the gonostylus. It is very similar to the European species
C. fera
Mohrig & Heller
(in
Heller & Mohrig, 1992
; it might be identical), but the type species, located in the CNC, was not provided for study it during preparation of this manuscript.
