Chalarus gynocephalus Jervis, 1992

Chalarus gynocephalus Jervis, 1992: 274 .

Diagnosis: Male with broad frons, at its narrowest point ~3–3.5 times frontal ommatidial facets, and with 3–6 pairs of fronto-orbital setae (J92 Fig. 5 C–D); genitalia (as in Fig. 1) with phs gently curved; tdp short and pointed, Lmtdp:Ltdp~2.0; php absent; all ejaculatory ducts placed distally on mtdp; ejaculatory apodeme parasol-shaped (as in Fig. 18). Female unknown. See Table 1 for coxI and ITS2 barcode sequence accession numbers.

Annotations: The taxon can be readily identified by means of the fronto-orbital setae on their frons. Inner genitalia are conspecific with C. fimbriatus and C. pughi . It is likely that it will be found to be the missing partner of C. basalis as they share the same ITS2 genotype together with CK21 and CK64 (these two males lack any fronto-orbital setae and are treated as C. fimbriatus agg. here) (Table 2). No host records available.

Chalarus gynocephalus seems to be widespread in the Palaearctic as one male was studied from South Korea: 1ɗ, Republic of South Korea, Ch’ungch’ongnam-Do Province, Kumsan-Gun, Kumsan, Posoksa, 4.– 13.VI.1995, Tripotin (MNHN).
