Neurolyga venusta
(Mamaev & Rozhnova)
Described originally from the Russian Far East,
N. venusta
was recently recorded from Europe based on a series of three males collected in the Republic of Karelia (
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009:
138
f.). Here we document the occurrence of this species even farther west, in central
Sweden
. Our specimens, again three males captured together by one and the same Malaise trap, represent the third finding of this species within nearly 30 years.
Material examined.
