Eudorylas jenkinsoni Coe, 1966
Diagnosis
This species can be recognised by the size of the right surstylus in dorsal view, wider than long with inner finger-like projection; left surstylus triangular-shaped in dorsal view and dorsal margin of left surstylus humped in lateral view; gonopods small and equal in height; phallic guide short and straight with two triangular projection dorsomedially in lateral view (for illustration, see Kehlmaier, 2005: Fig. 31a, n).
Distribution
Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iran (Fig.

), Italy, Japan, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland (

Notes
DNA barcodes of
Eudorylas jenkinsoni
overlap with those of
E. obliquus
(0.62-1.63% pairwise divergence). The genitalia of these species differ by the size of the right surstylus in dorsal view, wider than long in
E. jenkinsoni
, so this is likely another case of recently-diverged species or ancestral hybridisation. There is always a possibility that it is a single species with polymorphic genitalia, so future genetic work is warranted.
