Previous descriptions of
G. brevipalpis
in the literature were based on a very few specimens: a single female from
Russia
(
Mamaev 1964
) and several larvae plus an adult of either sex from
Latvia
(
Spungis 1985
). Spungis’s (1985) description is here complemented on the basis of eight males recently found in Öland, Sweden—the first specimens of
G. brevipalpis
known from that country.
Diagnosis.
In
G. brevipalpis
, as in most other
Gynapteromyia
, translucent sensilla on the flagellomeres (Fig. D) and palpi are simply hair-shaped and vein CuA extends to the wing margin. Characters of the male genitalia (Fig. A) are diagnostic of this species, as follows. The ventral emargination of the gonocoxites is evenly U-shaped; the long protrusions microtrichia of the and medial fine setae gonocoxal (↓); the bridges stout gonostylus are angulated is only rather slightly than rounded tapered and towards sparsely the covered apex (↓) with; and both the
tegmen apex is subrectangular, with the corners barely prominent (↓).
Other male characters in addition to
Spungis (1985)
. Head.
Eye bridge 1–2 ommatidia long dorsally. Genal setae 1–3, often thick, straight. Palpus with either 3 or 4 segments (Fig. B–C), sensory hairs on first and second, occasionally third segments.
Wing.
Vein btv with 0–2 setae. Basal and central portions of membrane without setae.
