Museum in Wien .’ but did not specify the number of specimens he had. Examination of the relevant name-bearing types and 22 females , 18 males from the Italian and Swiss Alps ( MZL , NMBE ) showed that niger is very close to Seladerma genale (Thomson) . The female is separated from the latter mainly by the longer marginal vein which is 1.27±1.42 times as long as the stigmal vein (1.15 in the holotype of genale ). Moreover, the hypostomal carinae are farther apart and more curving outwards than in Graham’s ®gure of the head of genale (1969: 184, ®gure 148, from holotype ?). Unfortunately, the holotype of genale now also lacks the head (see also Graham, 1969: 197 ), thus this characters could not be veri®ed. No additional material of genale from Northern Europe was available. The status of niger should be reconsidered in a more comprehensive study. Status .
