Winnertzia parvispina
Jaschhof
Diagnosis.
A medium-sized, brown
Winnertzia
with distinctive male genitalia, as follows (
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013
: fig. 41B–C). The parallel-sided, markedly bent gonostylus has a conspicuously small claw, which consists of only 4–6 widely spaced, subtriangular spines. We are not aware of another
Winnertzia
with this kind of gonostylar claw. Of the gonocoxal synsclerite, which is massive in relation to the gonostylar size, the ventral emargination is an unusually deep, narrow U-shape, accompanied basally by a small membranous area; and the dorsal transverse bridge, which is conspicuously straight (as opposed to concave, the outline usually found in
Winnertzia
), is twice as broad as the dorsal apodeme length. The posterior edge of the ninth tergite, which is markedly narrowed, has a perfectly sinuous outline.
Distribution in
Sweden
.
All the
19 males
we have studied of
W. parvispina
come from the southern quarter of Sweden, with
Östergötland
as the northernmost distribution.
