Oncopsis tristis
(Zetterstedt, 1840)
Figs. 101–107, 116–120
Description.
Coloration typical, females similar to males or lighter, brown with dark spots to yellowish brown without dark pattern (as in
O. ochotensis
,
Fig. 30
).
Penis of typical shape, with ventral margin convex in side view (Figs. 101–102). Lower appendage of dorsal connective bifurcated, usually with rather short widely separated branches; upper branch is somewhat longer than the lower one. Inner margins of branches finely serrated (Figs. 102–105). Style narrow, finely tapering apically, with narrow hook-like tip (Figs. 106–107).
Body length (including tegmina): ♂,
3.7–4.1 mm
; ♀,
3.9–4.3 mm
.
Differs from all species from
Russia
and adjacent countries by combination of very narrow style with hooklike tip and penis with convex ventral margin in side view. Two species with similar shape of style were described from
Japan
have penis with strongly concave ventral margin, as in
O. flavicollis
species group (
Okudera, 2008
).
Host.
Betula alba
and
B
.
pendula
in Europe and European
Russia
,
B. platyphylla
in the Southern
Sakhalin
.
Distribution.
From Western Europe to the Russian Far East including
Sakhalin
and Kurile Islands;
Japan
, Honshu (
Hayashi & Higashikawa, 1997
);
China
, “Sze-chuan” (evidently
Sichuan Province
;
Lauterer & Anufriev, 1969
).
Remark.
Comparison of calling signals of males from the Southern
Sakhalin
(environs of Sokol Town, recording at 27o C;
Figs. 116, 118
),
Altai
Mts. (Northern shore of Teletskoe Lake, recording at 29o C;
Fig. 119
), and
Moscow
Area (environs of Pushkino Town, recording at 22–23o C;
Figs. 117, 120
) supports the conspecificity of specimens from Europe, Siberia and the Far East.
