Roeseliana fedtschenkoi vasilii
(Götz, 1969)
Ĝtz, 1969. Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, 45: 157 (
Metrioptera fedtschenkoi vasilii
);
type
locality and depository:
Romania
,
Negresti
,
Moldau
(SMTD, Dresden)
.
Remarks
. Ĝtz (1969) described this taxon from
Romania
as subspecies of
R. fedtschenkoi
, and considered it related to
pylnovi
,
ambitiosa
,
minor
and
azami
. Examination of the drawings of the titillators and the female subgenital plate of this taxon by Ĝtz (1969) shows that it is undoubtedly related to
R. roeselii
, but the female subgenital plate is similar to that of
R. ambitiosa
.
Distribution
.
Romania
; according to Ĝtz (1969) in
Bulgaria
a mixed population
roeselii-vasilii
may be found.
