Winnertzia pustulatula

Diagnosis.
Males of this medium-sized (
1.7–1.9 mm
), brown
Winnertzia
are reminiscent of small
W. pustulata
(1.7–
2.3 mm). Differences between these two species are as follows. In
W. pustulatula
, the flagellomeres have shorter necks, the neck of the fourth flagellomere being 0.6 times as long as the node (
Figs 130–131
) (
pustulata
: 0.8–0.9); the fore tibia is 1.2–1.3 times as long as the second tarsomere (
pustulata
: equally long); the gonostylar claw is broader and inserted on the broadly rounded gonostylar apex (
Fig. 129
, ↓
1
) (
pustulata
: claw inserted on a short, flattened process); the gonocoxal synsclerite is more strongly narrowed towards the roundish base (
Fig. 128
, ↓
2
) (
pustulata
: basal gonocoxal edge slightly convex to truncate); and the medial bridges of the gonocoxae are less strongly bulging towards the aedeagus (
Fig. 128
, ↓
3
). Females and preimaginal stages of
W. pustulatula
are unknown.

Discussion.
Our material contains another unnamed
Winnertzia
from
Sweden
close to both
W. pustulatula
and
W. pustulata
, which is distinguished as follows. The single male (specimen CEC
3364 in
NHRS) is very small (
1.3 mm
); the number of flagellomeres is 11; the fore tibia is much longer than the second tarsomere (tb/T
2
= 1.4–1.7); the empodia are vestigial; the gonostylus is less strongly swollen apically; the gonostylar claw is broader; and the processes at the apex of the aedeagal apodeme are appreciably smaller.
Etymology.
The name, the diminutive of
pustulata
, refers to the general similarity of this species to the slightly larger
W. pustulata
.

Distribution and phenology.
Adults of
W. pustulatula
were collected in May–June in different woodlands in the southern half of
Sweden
(Småland to
Dalarna
).
