Macrosteles lindbergi Dlabola, 1963 View in CoL , stat. nov.

(Plate 3, figs. 1–9)

Macrosteles fascifrons lindbergi Dlabola, 1963: 322 –323

Macrosteles fascifrons, Ossiannilsson, 1983: 633 –634, Figs. 2023–2028; Li & Wang, 1991: 182; Anufriev & Emeljanov, 1988: 187, Figs. 3–5

Length (including tegmen). Male: 3.0– 3.5 mm; female: 3.5–4.0 mm.

Pale yellow, head with 3 pairs of black spots, not merged, a short longitudinal black band between eyes and ocelli.

Male abdomen. 2nd acrotergite with trunk widely V-shaped. 2nd tergal apodeme extending to middle of tergite posteriorly. 1st sternal apodeme with anterior lobes slightly reduced and posterior lobes slightly longer than basal width, convergent distally. 2nd sternal apodeme with posterior lobes reduced.

Male genitalia. Aedeagal shaft with lateral flanges, apical appendages divergent, long.

Material examined. CHINA: 1 male, Gansu Prov., Daheba Township, 30.vii.2004, 1870m, Coll. Lu Lin & Duan Yani (EMNWAF); 1 male, Qinghai Prov., Mt. Qilan, 4.vii.1974, Coll. (SHEM); 1 male, 1 female, Ningxia Autonomous Region, Mt. Liupan, Xixia Country, 2150m, 10.vii.2008, Coll. Men Qiulei.

Distribution. Finland, Sweden, Tuva district of Russia (Kwon 1988) and China (Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia).

Remarks. Ossiannilsson (1983) confused this species with M. fascifrons due to incorrect specimen identification. The characters of the aedeagal shaft and apodemes separate it from all other species of the alpinus species-group as a distinct species. It is most readily distinguished from other Old World species by the length of the aedeagal shaft. We therefore consider M. fascifrons sensu Ossiannilsson 1983 to in fact be M. lindbergi stat. nov. (Kwon 1988, unpublished).
