Pristiphora nigricans (Eversmann, 1847)
comb. n.
Figs 141, 223
Nematus nigricans
Eversmann, 1847: 16. Lectotype ♀ (DEI-GISHym30030; here designated) in ZIN, examined. Type locality: prov. Casan [Republic of Tatarstan], Russia.
Nematus Anderschi
[sic!] Zaddach, 1876: 62-63, syn. n. Holotype ♀ possibly destroyed (
Blank and Taeger 1998
). Type locality: Uncertain, but possibly Tilsit, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. Note. The name
anderschi
has apparently not been used as valid more than 25 times during the last 50 years (we found 17 publications) and therefore Article 23.9.1 (
ICZN 1999
) cannot be applied in this case.
Pristiphora inocreata
Konow, 1902: 181, syn. n. Lectotype ♀ (GBIF-GISHym3923; designated by
Oehlke and Wudowenz 1984
as
"Holotypus"
) in SDEI, examined. Type locality: Moravia, Czech Republic.
Pristiphora discolor
Lindqvist, 1975: 13-14, syn. n. Holotype ♀ (GBIF-GISHym20870) in MZH, examined. Type locality: Popovo, Iljhonsk, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia.
Similar species.
The most similar species is
P. pallidiventris
. Females of
P. nigricans
have a completely pale metafemur and black terga 9 and 10, while in
P. pallidiventris
metafemur and terga 9-10 are completely pale or at least the metafemur is apically slightly black. The lancet and penis valve also show consistent differences (see the Key).
Genetic data.
Based on a COI barcode sequence of one confidently identified specimen (DEI-GISHym20619),
P. nigricans
belongs to the same BIN cluster (BOLD:AAU3334) as
P. pallidiventris
(Fig. 5). The nearest neighbour (BOLD:ACO0950, possibly
P. pallidiventris
, from China) is 2.26% different. No nuclear data available.
Host plants.
Sanguisorba
sp. (
Verzhutskii 1981
, as
P. discolor
).
Sanguisorba officinalis
L. according to the label data of the holotype of
discolor
Lindqvist.
Distribution and material examined.
Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Czech Republic, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Russia (Irkutsk Oblast and Republic of Tatarstan), and Ukraine.
