Tenthredo miliaris Panzer, 1797: 45:13 . Holotype ♀, probably lost or destroyed. Type locality: Germany.

Nematus dorsalis Serville, 1823: 73 . Lectotype ♀ (MNHN), designated by Lacourt (2000), not examined. Type locality: France, Département de l’Isère. Synonymy by ( Konow 1904e).

Nematus purus Förster, 1854a: 278–279 . Lectotype designated below. Synonymy by Dalla Torre (1894).

Nematus fulvus var. basalis Costa, 1859: 18–19 . Syntypes ♀♀ (MZFN?), not examined. Type locality: Italy, Naples area. Synonymy by Dalla Torre (1894).

Nematus trimaculatus Snellen van Vollenhoven, 1862: 69–71 , pl. 4. Lectotype ♀ (RMNH), designated by Thomas (1987), not examined. Type locality: Netherlands Zuid-Holland, Leiden.

Pteronus magus Marlatt, 1896a: 44–46 (key), 67. Holotype ♀ (ANSP), not examined. Type locality: Canada. Syn. nov. Based on Smith (2004), a very good match is DEI-GISHym31136.

Pteronidea miliaris var. nigronotata Enslin, 1916a: 453 . Syntypes ♀♀ (not located in ZSM). Type locality: not stated. Synonymy by Lacourt (1999).

Diagnosis

Pale specimens are very similar to E. fagi : see differences mentioned under that species. Abdomen of live females can be green. In northern Fennoscandia, females can be dorsally extensively black, like Pteronus magus from North America (see Smith 2004). Larvae from Canada belonging to BIN cluster BOLD:AAN8145 fit perfectly with E. miliaris , but not with E. fagi or E. nigricornis .

Type material examined

Holotype Nematus fulvus

GERMANY – Niedersachsen • ♀; Harz ; 51.8° N, 10.3° E; W. Saxesen leg.; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3286 . GoogleMaps

Lectotype Nematus purus , here designated

GERMANY – Niedersachsen • ♀; Hannover ; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3396 .

Paralectotype Nematus purus

GERMANY • ♀; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3397 .

Notes

Pteronus magus . Based on Smith (2004), a very good morphological match is DEI-GISHym31136.

Host plants

A wide spectrum of Salix spp. (Taeger et al. 1998).

Genetics

COI

Based on 6 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 2.45% and the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 3.20%, is Euura fagi .

Nuclear

Based on 3 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.07% (0.13% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 1.18%, is Euura fagi .

Distribution and material examined

Holarctic. Specimens studied are from Austria, Canada, China (only genetics), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, and Sweden.
