Hoplocampa phantoma

.
Holotype
♀
, not examined, in ZISP. Type locality:
Russia
[Far East],
Khabarovsk
Terr.,
Khekhtsir
,
24 km
S
Khabarovsk
.
Note.
The characters in the key, and our illustrations, are from specimens collected in the Russian Far East. According to
Zinovjev (1993)
, the specimens from
Sverdlovsk oblast
[W. Palaearctic] differ from Far Eastern ones, in having a shorter ovipositor (the lower end of the range given below), and slight [unspecified] differences in the male genitalia.
Additional description.
Body length:
3.3–3.8mm
. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour yellowish. Female: Valvula 3 and valvifer 2 combined length in lateral view 1.03–1.31 as long as metafemur without trochantellus. Lancet:
Fig. 80
. Male: penis valve:
Figs 98–99
.
Total number of specimens examined: 9.
Similar species.
Superficially similar to
alpina
, especially in coloration, from which it is externally distinguishable only in the female sex: see key. The lancet of
phantoma
(
Fig. 80
) is narrower in relation to its length than that of
alpina
(
Fig. 77
), and
phantoma
has rows of ctenidial teeth on annuli ca. 1–7 (
alpina
: rows of teeth only on basal 2–3 annuli). The penis valve of
phantoma
(
Figs 97–98
) differs markedly in the profile of the valviceps and some details, such as the gap in the dorsal sclerotised strut just anterior of the valviceps apex, from all other West Palaearctic
Hoplocampa
species.
Life history.
Host plants: unknown, but
Zinovjev (1993)
considered that these could be
Sorbus
species; perhaps
S. sibirica
in the Urals, and
S. amurensis
in the Far East.
Distribution.
Russia
. Northern Urals (
Sverdlovsk oblast
), and the Far East (
Zinovjev 1993
).
Occurrence in
Sweden
: not recorded, and not expected.
