Description
: Head round, eyebridge of 3 facet rows; distance between eyes 4.7 facet diameters; with postocular bristles. Palpus segments, absolute length: 0.072-0.076-0.080-0.152; relative length: 36-38-40-76. Antenna with scape, pedicel and 5 flagellomeres, distal segments missing: absolute length 0.044-0.052-0.040-0.040-0.038-0.036- 0.040- mm; relative length 22-26-20-20-19-18-20-; distal flagellomeres missing; flagellomere 5 and following with a pair of digitiform curved ascoids in the apical third.
Wing 2.83 times longer than wide; length
2.05 mm
, width
0.72 mm
.
Male terminalia with hypandrium with broad median linguiform enlargement, tip almost reaching tip of gonocoxites (
Fig. 38
). Gonocoxites as long as their basal width, with 1 long seta near apical end on inner edge. Gonostylus with basal swelling as long as the gonocoxite incised near tip with spearhead appearance (
Fig. 39
).
Parameres not clearly identified, small but seemingly not different from other species. Aedeagus with ventral lobe of the basiphallus short straight; distiphallus sclerite with long basal arm, cross part slightly bent, thin. Dorsal lobe of basiphallus is broad, straight, and symmetric, no dorsal distiphallus.
Epandrium rhomboid short; epandrial processes basally bulky distally thinner with 3 feathered retinacula, 1 long and 2 short (
Fig. 40
). Hypoproct oval, microsetose.
Distribution
:
Italy
,
Germany
,
Great Britain
.
Remarks
: This well defined species is widely distributed in Western Europe. However, it is rarely collected which finally caused the repeated descriptions from
Germany
and
England
. German specimens were collected along a slow running lowland stream.
