Montana Region, Reservoir Ogosta (near Montana), 43 ° 23 ’09’’N 23 ° 12 ’ 53 ’’E , 175 m , 9 .iv. 2005 , A.K. Antonov (sweeping grasslands) [ 1 brachypterous female and 1 fully winged female, PUPB ]. Distribution. Bulgaria , Canada , Germany , Hungary , Russia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Sweden , and USA ( Triapitsyn 2005 , Boyadzhiev & Triapitsyn 2007 ). Comments. As previously suspected by Triapitsyn ( 2005 ) and Boyadzhiev & Triapitsyn ( 2007 ) , the female of E. kaulbarsi indeed turned out to be just a brachypterous form of E. carbonaria . The antennae and other morphological features are identical among E. kaulbarsi from Canada and the specimens of E. carbonaria from Bulgaria and Hungary , hence the synonymy. Coloration of the legs seems to be quite variable in this species: the legs of the brachypterous female from near Montana, Bulgaria , are pale brown while the legs of the fully winged female from the same location are mostly brown to dark brown. To assist with recognition of E. carbonaria , which has never been properly illustrated, we provide photographs of the antenna ( Fig. 1 ) and the reduced fore- ( Fig. 2 ) and hind ( Fig. 3 ) wings of the brachypterous female, as well as the forewing and the hind wing ( Fig. 4 ) of the macropterous female.
