REMARKS. In Russian collections and literature, specimens of Holopyga minuma were identified as H. amoenula Dahlbom, 1845 . H. minuma is similar to H.

amoenula but consistently smaller (4–4.5 mm) (vs. 7–8 mm in H. amoenula ), with smaller, scattered punctures on metasoma (vs. dense punctures clearly double, with minute punctures in the interspaces among the largest punctures); it can be separated by the similar H. generosa (Förster, 1853) for the small body dimensions (vs. usually

7–9 mm in H. generosa ), punctuation scarce, barely visible on S2 (vs. dense in H.

generosa).
