REMARKS. In Russian collections and literature, specimens of Holopyga minuma were identified as H. amoenula Dahlbom, 1845 . H. minuma is similar to H.

amoenula but consistently smaller ( 4–4.5 mm) ( vs. 7–8 mm in H. amoenula ), with smaller, scattered punctures on metasoma ( vs. dense punctures clearly double, with minute punctures in the interspaces among the largest punctures); it can be separated by the similar H. generosa (Förster, 1853) for the small body dimensions ( vs. usually

7–9 mm in H. generosa ), punctuation scarce, barely visible on S2 ( vs. dense in H.

generosa).
