spur about 3/4 as long as

Abdomen
dark-brown with pale hairs.
Terminalia
dark-brown. Sternal submedian appendages wide basally and narrowed to the apices (
Fig. 4
,

). Gonostylus of characteristic shape, resembling a grotesque animal head when viewed from the inner side (
Fig. 6
,
11
). Tergite 9 rectangular, with rather deep apical triangular depression, cercus with two combs of spines (
Fig. 5
,

). Aedeagus with “cobra hood” like subapical widening, parameres rectangularly bent and widened subapically and then narrowed to apices (
Fig. 7–8
,
12–13
).
DIAGNOSIS. A small dark
Boletina
with transparent wings and yellowish-brown legs (sometimes with darkened coxa). The species clearly differs from other members of the genus in the structure of the male terminalia, especially in the shape of the gonostylus and details of the aedeagal apparatus.

ETYMOLOGY. The species name points to the characteristic shape of the male gonostylus, resembling a grotesque animal (e.g. rodent) head.
ECOLOGY.Specimens from Fennoscandia collected with Malaise’s traps in various forest habitats. The habitats in the Taimyr peninsula are sedge-dwarf tundra communities.
