An update of Micromyinae (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) taxonomy, with descriptions of a new genus and 13 new species from Northern Europe Author Jaschhof, Mathias Author Jaschhof, Catrin text Zootaxa 2020 2020-03-12 4750 3 349 369 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4750.3.3 7f19f81d-eed1-4d91-a8bd-081b805056ff 1175-5326 3707458 CA4A32B1-04E7-40C6-8EE5-0FA9D331BE21 Antennardia suorkensis sp. nov. Figs 1–4 FIGURES 1–4. Adult morphology of Antennardia suorkensis . 1: Male genitalia, ventral, holotype. 2: Male fourth flagellomere, lateral, holotype. 3: Female fourth flagellomere, lateral, paratype. 4: Female genitalia, lateral, paratype. Scales 0.05 mm. Arrows refer to characters described in the diagnosis. Diagnosis. This new species, whose morphology is absolutely characteristic for the genus Antennardia ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009: 196 ) , is distinguished as follows. As regards diagnostic characters of the male, the compact, straight gonostylus is clearly broadened basally ( Fig. 1 , ↓ 1 ). The aedeagal apodeme is markedly longer than the tegmen (↓ 2 ), which corresponds with the condition found in A. saxonica Jaschhof ( Jaschhof 2003 : fig. 3C) but differs from both A. antennata (Winnertz) and A. gallicola Mamaev , in which the apodeme and tegmen are equally long ( Jaschhof 1998 : figs 96b and 94c). The neck of the fourth flagellomere of A. suorkensis is longer than the node ( Fig. 2 ), which is in line with both A. antennata and A. saxonica , while A. gallicola differs in having the neck shorter than the node. As regards females, six of the specimens studied here of A. suorkensis have 21 to 27 flagellomeres ( Fig. 3 ), which probably represents only a part of the variability of this species; this compares to 22 to 35 in A. antennata (n=9), 31 in A. gallicola (n=3), and 17 to 20 in A. saxonica (n=4). Regarding spermathecae and ovipositor A. suorkensis appears to be not appreciably different from other Antennardia , although more thorough comparative study might reveal the need to reconsider this observation. For instance, the basicercus of A. suorkensis has a posterior line of conspicuously thick, equally long setae ( Fig. 4 , ↓ 3 ), whose presence is not mentioned in descriptions of other Antennardia . Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, the immediate vicinity of Suorke Nature Reserve in Swedish Lapland. Type material. Holotype . Male , Sweden , Lule Lappmark , Arvidsjaur , Varjisån valley south of Suorke Nature Reserve , pile of felled timber of young birch and pine, 20 August 2016 , aspirator, M. & C. Jaschhof (spn.

Paratypes . 1 male , 5 females , same data as the holotype (spns CEC2748CEC 2750 in NHRS ) ; 4 males , 4 females , same data but 21 August 2016 (spns CEC2751CEC 2758 in SDEI ) ; 1 male , 4 females , same data but 18 August 2016 (spns CEC2759CEC 2761 in NHRS ) . Other material examined. Sweden : 1 male , Lule Lappmark , Jokkmokk , Serri NR , recently burned forest of spruce and birch, 31 July–28 August 2016 , MT , MCJ (spn.

This is not the Antennardia spec. referred to in our earlier treatment of this genus in Sweden ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009: 196 ). The specimen from Södermanland mentioned there remains unidentified to species.
