Genus Strobliella Kieffer

The only species included here, Strobliella intermedia, was described on the basis of a single male from Austria, which was last studied by Edwards (1938) and is now regarded as lost (Jaschhof 1999). Three males at my disposal have genitalic structures exactly like those illustrated by Edwards (1938: fig. 7d) for S. intermedia, which leads me to regard them as conspecific. If my identification is correct, then the generic definition of Strobliella needs to be modified: male flagellomeres were previously thought to lack crenulate whorls, while those are present in the specimens studied here (Fig. 8D). This discrepancy is discussed under the heading of S. intermedia . As the presence of crenulate whorls is a character rendering Strobliella even more similar to Groveriella, the distinctness of the two genera should be reconsidered once the morphology of female Strobliella is better known.
